Freezing my tush off in the studio today. I’ve gone for layer upon layer of clothes (5 so far). The cardigan is a toile of the @iam_patterns #iamartemis using some second hand blue wool blend fabric. Definitely a wearable toile and perfect for the studio as....pockets, big pockets!! Thank you @bombazine for the pattern x (IG sewing friends are the best!!)

Sewing for me (how novel!) This is the fabulous #stanage ikat from @faberwood_com. Had so many plans for this fabric and had to really force myself to choose one. Luckily I chose the right one (hello Japanese pattern book, my old friend!) Will be wearing this tomorrow when the sun comes up and the sky is blue.

Restocked my Etsy shop today! I sold out of my original batch in only a few days so I’ve been squirrelling away with lots of beautiful threads, my glasses and a head torch to launch my second collection. Pop over to the shop (link in profile) if you are looking for that extra special present for your loved one (or invest in self-care and get one for yourself 😜. #sashiko #sashikostitching #selfcare #etsystore @etsy

Here’s a recent experiment with sock yarn. I found this incredible yarn at @castoffcollective and just couldn’t resist. It’s merino sock yarn by @wrenandollie with hand dyed flecks of tutti fruity colour. Of course it’s not ideal for Sashiko, it’s fairly challenging to sew with but that has not put me off. I just love the colour, it was absolutely worth the effort. #sashiko #sockyarn

Darning complete! Not the most beautiful piece of darning but it works and really, isn’t that the point? No more cold toes for me!! #darning #visiblemending #mending

Seriously dodgy darning!Attempting to darn one leg while wearing the other. #coldstudio #darning #makedoandmend #mending
