It’s the Weekend!
Hello everyone. How are you all? I hope you have had a great week. I have managed to get out in this very cold but lovely and dry weather. Rod and I had a great walk around Mumbles. We met Claire and our friend Julia for lunch in ‘Love a Latte’ on Newton Road and went to take some new stock to Adelante. It was great to see our children’s reversible dresses and skirts out on display. Naomi has bought in some fab coloured tights to match them. This leads me on nicely to the new reversible dresses I have just finished. What do you think of them? I love the quirkiness and fun of the fabrics. I apologise that I haven’t ironed the dresses but I wanted to get them on my blog for you to see. If you want to buy them then head to Adelante. They will be there from next Wednesday. There are three sizes….small, medium and large. Don’t forget if you have a particular idea you fancy for your little one, then get in touch with us and we can make a bespoke dress or skirt for you. You can email us on our website or send a DM via Facebook or Instagram.
Next Friday it’s Valentines Day. Do you celebrate? If you fancy buying a gift for your loved one have a look at our website or pop into Adelante. We have some gorgeous knot bags and tote bags or what about a kimono style jacket. Claire has also made some fabulous quilted zippered pouches. Prices start from just £10.00.
Don’t forget ‘Come as you really are” exhibition is opening on the 15th February at The Glynn Vivian Art Gallery. Claire and I both have items that are in the exhibition. It runs until the 27th February. We will both be there on the opening day. Pop in if you can and let us know what you think. See you next week x Suzanne
It’s the weekend!
Hello everyone. Hope you are well. It’s all go at Sister Makes. Did you see the photos I put on the last blog as a little teaser of something new we were making at Sister Makes HQ. Well I can reveal we are starting to make children’s clothing. We are making beautiful reversible dresses and quirky patchwork skirts. We want everyone to enjoy our love of colour. This week I have put some teasers of the dresses on the blog. All will be revealed in our newsletter or if you want to see them sooner, pop down to Adelantes in Mumbles. Naomi is celebrating The Chinese New Year this weekend. The window is full of our lovely makes including jackets and bags.
Rod and I have enjoyed some lovely walks this week. We are so lucky with where we live. Our walk today was along the promenade and it was in sunshine! So nice to feel the sun on our faces. It was home then for coffee and cake. Bliss. Claire is making some great patchwork tote bags. Keep an eye on our Facebook page but you’ve got to be quick. Claire put a gorgeous red one on Wednesday and it was sold within an hour. There will be more to follow I promise.
Have a lovely week x Suzanne
It’s the weekend!
Hello everyone. How are you all. Happy 2025 from Claire and myself. We have had a well-deserved break but are back ready to sew. We are looking forward to sharing lots of new ideas with you and what we get up to at Sister Makes HQs. I’ve put a teaser on here of fabrics that will become one of our new ideas.
Claire is sewing up a storm making lots of patchwork which will be turned into lots of goodies such as clothes, bags and pouches. I am pursuing my love of dressmaking. I have just had a go at making my first fitted garment…..a tailored waistcoat. It’s not perfect but then I’m not perfect either but I have learnt new techniques and can’t wait to make another one.
Rod & I made the most of a sunny but cold Thursday morning and went for a lovely walk around Brynmill Park popping into Brynmill Coffee House for a cuppa and of course a slice of cake. We had lime and passionfruit cake. It was yummy. We are very lucky in Swansea as we have some great green spaces and you don’t have to drive far to go for a relaxing walk.
Have a great week. Lots of love Suzanne & Claire x
