I hoped bee-ing (!) on the Great British Sewing Bee would give me some exciting new experiences. Here is the first!

This week I am busy sewing a short trench coat for my son’s girlfriend……I bought her the fabric for Christmas and so I am very behind with my sewing. So far it is looking great and I am hoping she will be posing for some photos at the weekend.
I was also in some newspapers this week and my favourite has to be the floating heads shot!!!

It’s not sewing but I think I can definitely add a……..
