Hello Friday!

A new crossbody everyday handbag. At Sister Makes we have been busy sewing up a storm ready for The Vintage & Makers Market at Swansea Maritime Museum this weekend.

New crossbody handbag

Loving this new style

It has a detachable adjustable strap and a zipper closure with an outer zipped pocket and inner slip pocket

Well hello everyone on this gorgeous sunny Friday. How has your week been? We’ve been busy at Sister Makes. We were at The Heart of the Valley Show in Pontardawe last Saturday. It was a really lovely show. There was something for all the family plus the weather was great. It was a lovely start to September. We debuted our integrity scarves which were well received. Everyone loved the different colours.

This week we have been busy sewing for The Vintage and Makers Market at the Swansea Maritime Museum. We are there for the Saturday and Sunday. It is always a great weekend with many stalls full of antiques, vintage items and different crafts. Support your small local businesses. They have beautiful and unique gift ideas. There is a lot going on outside with a food festival in the museum square for the weekend and the Marina Outdoor Market on the Sunday.

We look forward to seeing you

It is free to get in

We have lots of bags including some new handbags as well as our signature rice and knot bags. They are all individual and quirky. Claire & I do love a bit of colour. We are showcasing our new handbags at the market this weekend but they are also on our website Sister Makes. Let us know what you think of them.

I know the children have gone back to school but hopefully you will get a chance to get out this weekend and in the evenings and enjoy the fabulous weather. Even a short walk in the evening is good for the soul. Have a lovely week and see you next Friday x Suzanne

Crossbody Handbags

Again these are great everyday bags which will get loads of use. The main body closes with a magnetic clasp on the flap and has a zipped outside pocket and an inside slip pocket.

Feeling the heat….

Enjoying a making day outdoors

Decided today was just too nice to stay indoors!

So armed with sunscreen, sunglasses, lots of squash and water I headed into the garden to make some earrings.

Being pale (and mysterious!) I followed the shade around the garden and hid inside when I was just getting way too hot! Burning is not my idea of fun - although my Husband may disagree when it comes to my cooking!

Keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram feed as I shall be posting my sunshine makes soon…..

Sunshine!

Loving this sunshine but being very careful. My lovely pale Welsh complexion means that just a hint of sun and I go RED!

Suzanne is working her normal day job and is busy, busy, busy so not getting to enjoy the sun as much as me!

A friend is visiting this week so have to admit not a lot is being done by me - apart from eating and drinking even more than normal!

Promise there will be new handmade items added next week….
