I live and craft in England (or perhaps “live to craft...”?). I love colour and I love pretty things.
I must have been a magpie or a butterfly in a previous life, such is my attraction to colourful and shiny stuff (aka, pretty, shiny things).
This blog is my attempt to make sense, and keep track, of what I make.

Resolved to Sew 2012
January 22, 2012
Posted by on Very Berry Handmade (another one of my favourite blogs) is having a fabric giveaway at the moment themed “Resolved to Sew 2012“.
I have been thinking about what I want from 2012 sewing-wise and this is it:
To sew, not just MORE but BETTER
To take the time to undo the bits that didn’t come out quite right, to use smaller stitches, to finally work out what’s wrong with the tension on my main sewing machine, to learn how to service said machine, and to sew a lot more.
Last year I trained myself to iron everything before and during sewing, and that worked out very well.
