Dear Everyone,
Summer is finally here and are we already crying 'too hot'?
Amid the barbecues, factor 50 lotion and ice cream we've something of a Christmas theme this time to cool you down. It always seems strange to think of Christmas when we are almost as far away from it as we can be, halfway through the year, but this is the time to give yourself time to make in time for Christmas. It's not all Christmas today though and we've plenty of other Summery fabrics in store.
Enjoy the read, with Pimms in hand and strawberries and cream at hand as we warm up for two weeks of Wimbledon.
Happy sewing!
