The Sewing Shop: Happy Birthday to Us!
http://the-sewing-shop.blogspot.com/2013/02/happy-birthday-to-us.html
Tuesday, 5 February 2013. Happy Birthday to Us! Can you believe it? We have been open ONE WHOLE YEAR. January 20th 2012 was the day The Sewing Shop opened its doors for the first time and the unsuspecting needlewomen of Lichfield. And what a totally fantastic year it has been! We've met so many lovely new friends, we've learned how to be buyers and book keepers and teachers as well as shop keepers. And as the following photos will show we've filled a rather empty-looking shop with loads. Promote your Pa...

ethel and edna: April 2011
http://ethelandednastearoom.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Monday, 4 April 2011. Well at long, long last "ethel and edna" are selling some goodies. The Facebook page has proved to be a success - so far anyway. The fees are cheaper than an eBay shop and now you can run your whole etsy set-up in your own currency. etsy convert back to Dollars for their payments and so on, but UK sellers can choose to list all their stock, P&P, etc in Sterling. MUCH easier to get my head round. I've now got commissions for 4 custom Silly dolls, 2 art dolls and a cushion.

Thursday, 25 August 2011. Step back in time. Have managed to stop me from working. I desperately need to complete a sample canvas for Lisa so she can promote our workshop but just when I thought I'd got it licked my black thread started shredding in the machine. At the moment the trays are just sitting on the side. I'm not timing them or anything. I'm probably just going to put them out of the way 'til tomorrow, and I'll rinse and dry them as a treat when I've finally completed my VW bus panel. I've had ...

Monday, 13 February 2012. New Baby is Born. As I think I may have mentioned, my latest 'ethel and edna' creation is a shop. Well now I can introduce the newest baby the shop website. Please pop over to have a little look. I'll be adding pictures and online shopping very soon but let me know what you think so far. Sorry it's a really short post but it's a tad busy here in the Sapre Room on my day off! There is a shop blog if you want to keep up with what I'm doing in my 'real life'. Just a little bit?

Tuesday, 6 September 2011. Well, the small person started Big Big School today. How can she be old enough to go to high school already? It's all gone to quickly. Anyway, normal routine can resume - whatever normal routine was. I've been having some technical glitches (computer crashing when I try to use any photographs) so this won't be a long post, but i just had to share. You'll see that yours truly is to be counted amongst these talented people. Tuesday, September 06, 2011. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

ethel and edna: January 2014
http://ethelandednastearoom.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, 2 January 2014. So, as promised, an actual garment. Many readers of 'ethel and edna' in the olden days will know all about this skirt. Yes it's been kicking around a while but, in the true spirit of patchwork, I have added several new bits to repair it. I made this little baby having seen a similar one online. That one was 9 tiers if 4" squares. The bottom tier had over 1000 patches in it! Thursday, January 02, 2014. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Witterings of a Land-Locked Beach Bum.

ethel and edna: March 2011
http://ethelandednastearoom.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 30 March 2011. At last - as you can see from the box on the right - "ethel and edna" have a Facebook page. :o). A customer at work was telling me about her craft business and about how many more orders she gets via her Facebook page than through her own website or etsy, Folksy, etc. I will have to borrow The Brain Cell from work (we have a shared one and take it in turns to use it! And give it some thought. Wednesday, March 30, 2011. Wednesday, 2 March 2011. Fave Tim Burton film:. I've wanted ...

Monday, 13 February 2012. New Baby is Born. Well ladies and gentlemen. First there was The Sewing Shop - a stitchy, knitty, hooky haven in the centre of picturesque Lichfield. And now - for those of you who don't live nearby or for those cold, snowed-in days when you can't get to visit in person - there is The Sewing Shop Online. We can already take orders over the phone if you wish to pay by card and they will be posted out to you the same day. There is a new blog. And follow our news and exploits there.

Monday, 8 September 2014. Dashwood Studios Christmas Wish Advent Calendar Tutorial. Out of all our Christmas fabric ranges this year my favourite is without doubt Christmas Wish from Dashwood Studios. The gorgeous palette of icy blue, soft green, Christmassy red and warm cream is bright and jolly without being garish. A classic festive combination but with a stylish modern slant. Be warned this post is very "photo heavy" but I think that makes all the difference in a good tutorial. 3 Press over the seam ...
