Our buttons are perfect for The Coat - available in 4 colours. In fact, they are so gorgeous you'll want to match your fabric to them, rather than the other way round! 22mm corozo button with four holes. Classic and simple with a matt finish. Corozo is a 100% natural product which is similar in consistency to hard resin. It is made up of very tightly wound organic fibres which give it excellent durability and is scratch resistant. #thecoat #coat #coatmaking #buttons
On the cutting table - The Raglan Top - in this gorgeous Indigo Spot fabric. Super excited to see this made up - it's the perfect match ❤ #theraglan #raglan #sew #sewing #imadethis
The sun is pouring into the sewing studio today and filling us with excitement as we are in the final stages of our next sewing pattern, aptly named The Sun Dress ❤ We thought we'd share a sneak preview to put a spring in your step 😎 #thesundress #dress #sundress #sew #sewing #imadethis #getyoursewon #avidseamstress
We've selected a range of high quality haberdashery items that we use in all of our sewing projects, including strong measuring tapes that won't stretch out and let you down with incorrect measuring, premium scissors that glide through your fabric, pins from heaven and useful tweezers (we can't live without them) -- all now available on our website.
