Aren't these fabrics pretty! Perfect for our sewing patterns. We love the linen/cotton mix in the Classic Check Indigo & Shetland Flannel - sooo soft on your skin. Then our fave fabric of all time - the Sevenberry range - a dream to sew with and looks great used for our patterns. We used the Geo Lines for The Raglan and Spots for The Aline Dress. ❤
We can't believe how quickly the time has gone since K&S October at Ali Pali. So much work goes into these shows and we just love them! We get to meet our amazing customers plus introduce ourselves to those that haven't seen our sewing patterns yet. With the exciting added element of the fashion show this year, we were buzzing for the four days. Working with such an incredible team was the best - we laughed and had so much fun! Thank you to everyone that came to see us and support us.
A huge shout out to the amazing team that supported me at Knitting and Stitching Show. I am so grateful to be surrounded by such incredible humans ❤ THANK YOU - Tess, Tish, Sam, Cherice, Iurdana & Kavitha. I feel exhilarated and blessed to have spent these few days with you! What a blast! Cait - we missed you! ANOTHER BIG THANK YOU to Eleanor - you also worked so hard in the background producing the most beautiful garments for the stand. Thank you Eleanor. THANK YOU to the team in the background that worked so hard getting the stand looking so fab - Mark, Matthew & Fabian - we couldn't have done it without you
Day 1 Knitting & Stitching - we can't wait to see you ❤
