Made from a beautiful brocade I found at a brocante in France. Loved making them. One is in its way back ‘home’ to the Chateau I stayed in recently & the others are in my Etsy shop. #cushion #handmade #luxury #upcycled #brocade

Took time out from cushion making to try out another fantastic Nani Iro pattern. Still used upcycled fabric! #naniiro #upcycled #lovetosew #handmade #summercoat

Off to Thessaloniki for the weekend ... exciting! #lovetotravel #greece #sunshine #history

Weekend in Thessaloniki has flown by. Off to catch a flight home later. #salonika #greece #weekendbreak

Going to be a very wet #parkrun this morning!!🏃‍♀️

It’s another dreary day outside but who cares ..... I’ve got a great day ahead with a really exciting seeing project on the go. #lovetosew #naniiro #handmade #nevermindtherain

Have had to take a break from crafting today to do my ‘proper’ job. Not nearly as much fun but have to pay the bills!!

Celebrated 15 years of parkrun 🌳 by visiting Potternewton parkrun this morning. Thought it was going to be flattish. How wrong can a person be?! Loved it anyway!!

Great night watching James Arthur in Manchester last night. Looking forward to new album release #YOU #jamessrthur #music

Another of our lovely French brocade cushion covers. Can’t make them fast enough. This one has a beautiful blue linen on the reverse. Gorgeous. #etsyshop #handmade #upcycled

What to make today? Bunting, bags or cushion covers? Or all three?

Off to the fabulous #fabworks this morning to see what beautiful fabrics can tempt me today #fabric #lovetosew #upcycled

Just posted this lovely off to its new home in Germany #etsy #handmade #upcycled

Last make of the week. Perfect for adding an accent to a neutral room. See it in my Etsy shop - address in bio. Have a good weekend everyone. #upcycled #handmade

Starting to move things upstairs. The beck is looking pretty full already! Can’t see us getting thru the night without it breaching. #riskofflooding #toomuchrain #worrying

Feeling smug today. Finally got my will sorted - not that I’m thinking of going anyway for a long time! Just wanted to make sure there’s minimum stress for my kids. #sortyourwill #weightoffmymind

Lots of bright autumn colours to mix & match. See all the options in my Etsy shop. #cushions #handmade #upcycled

Waiting for #JamesMorrison to take to the stage. Excited #O2apollomanchester #livemusic

Getting really worried now - river is very close to breaching it’s banks #floodalert #floods #toomuchrain

Tote bags added to my Etsy shop. Lovingly made from fabric which would otherwise have gone to waste. Strong, stylish and roomy
