I had a brilliant day out at the Yorkshire Spoolettes Meet-Up , thanks to Thimberlina!
Look at our lovely picture for our blogs!
Ali arranged a meet up for us in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire where there are lots of fabric shops and market stalls full of trims!!! After a coffee we had a walk around the market and visited some of the fabric shops.
You can read more about it from Ali here. I have always read blog posts of meet ups with great envy and now we finally have a local one. Ali was so organised- we even had a little map and car park charges. If Dewsbury ever needs a Tourism Officer she’s your girl!!
After coffee and a big chat we headed to the shops.
There was 15 of us altogether and Ali kept doing a head count!
Look at all the bags of fabric!!
I have such a talented Blog Manager, I did think the others were a little envious! So I shared her during the meet up!!
You probably want to know what I bought!?!
I bought two metres of fabric and £7 of trim!
I am going to write a whole blog post about The Thimberlina- what else could it be called??? But here is a taster……
Check out my blog tomorrow for more on The Thimberlina.

The lace trims are beautiful and the navy looks great on the sweater. I bet the shop owners were thrilled to have the group and all the blog attention.

My screen is showing orange rather than red fabric/trim, but either would be fabulous. You always do such inspired things with your trims. The Thimberlina is a great name – awaiting more info on it anon. What a grand day you all had & how much fun it is to read everyone’s accounts, and see their finds.

I love reading everyone’s write ups of Wednesday – it was great to meet you – but having reached the end of your post, the burning issue is: “you’re wearing trousers!”…

OOh fun! It is always good getting together with other sewers but it can be dangerous when you hit the shops -we are definitely a bunch of enablers! That red trim is amazing!
