The kids are asleep so I am uncoiling. Making the smaller bab some trousers from material I got at my fabric swap! I don’t have a matching thread but have plenty close enough thanks to my aunt Mary’s vintage stash.

Really nice to catch up with friends at the fabric swap I organised at my coworking space. Quite an elaborate way to fuel my latest hobby, orchestrating a community event so I can boost my fabric stash - but look what I picked up!!

Volunteered to weed the planters at my son’s primary school today. As well as digging up weeds - we dug up two eggs! Thanks Stirchley foxes 🦊

I am going to tweak the bib pattern, as it’s not a good fit. Still, very cute!

Hopefully the kids stay asleep long enough for me to follow along a YouTube video on putting poppers on fabric! I’m making bibs.

Today was mostly spent eating chocs and giving out flyers while one pal played with my son and another held my daughter.

I’m making a bib for my daughter from my son’s old t-shirt that got ripped at nursery. Imperfect and unfinished for today, but I am really enjoying the 15 mins switch off for sewing after the kids are asleep and the house has been reset.

Reported this fallen sign on Friday and it’s been fixed today 😁 (high five to FixMyStreet.com) it was at eye level and it wouldn’t have been long before someone walked into it.

Very proud, that after six years, we can afford to get a shop sign for the coworking space 😁 (being installed later in the week hopefully)
