Happy Friday!

Isn’t this gorgeous

I am biased as I make what I love - the colours and metallics in the fabric are so vibrant especially against the black.

Hello everyone hope you’ve all had a good week. What a mixed bag of weather….some sunshine at last but today is like winter! We’ve been busy in our sewing rooms cutting and preparing fabric ready to sew up a storm! On the title page of my blog is a sneak preview of one of the new cushions that I have made. I love the vibrant reds, pinks & oranges against the black. Claire & I love to make what we would like to buy ourselves so it is a wrench when they go but it also gives us joy to see someone else love them as much as us. I will be putting the cushion on the website www.sistermakes.co.uk after finishing this blog.

We are branching out with some new accessories and also homeware which we will be launching in our newsletter which goes out next week. Don’t forget to subscribe if you haven’t already. I have put a teaser on here with a commission that I recently made. It is a waist bag often called a bum bag or fanny pack if you are in the USA. It is funny how fashion will often repeat itself. I remember these in the eighties….yes I am old enough to remember them and wear them. They are great for when you are out walking, running, travelling….the list is endless. Ann who I made the bag for finds it great for taking the pressure off her neck & shoulders. I found mine great for running. We will be adding these to our website next week so keep an eye out. We also now have a shop on Facebook which is great as you can use the Shop Now Button at the top of our Sister Makes Page.

This is a waist/bum bag made for the lovely Ann

Love how the patchwork has turned out and how it looks paired with the denim
