Since our launch we’ve been getting a lot of love for our illustrations.
The Tallis collar kits and a pdf!
The first of our kits are here! We’ve got two Tallis collar kits for sale now - one in a classic black polka dot and the other is a cheeky turquoise leopard print!
A sewing pattern give away
To celebrate the launch of our first patterns, we’d like to give some away! So, we’re holding a little competition for the chance to win The Mortmain and The Tallis pattern. We’ve got two of each to give away.
Jelly Jelly
If, like me, you’re a child of the 80s (actually the 70s but only just) you’ll probably remember jellies! Those colourful plastic shoes that conjure up memories of holidays… Well, they’re back.
Presents for Isla
There was a bit of excitement at Gather HQ last week as we both became aunties again! Isla Lily finally made her appearance last Friday - is there a better reason than a new baby to get crafting? No.
A To-Make list
I’ve not been doing much garment sewing for myself recently - the reason being that my figure was expanding at a rapid rate. Having given birth 6 weeks ago I’m itching to get my waistline back and start making again!
A progress update
A huge thank you needs to go to our all our fabulous pattern testers for helping us out! I won’t lie, it was slightly terrifying to put our hard work out there for people to judge so we were waiting with bated breath to start getting the feedback.
Pattern testers wanted
Well we’re starting off 2013 with a call for help! We’re now looking for some pattern testers to help us test out our first Gather dress pattern.
Christmas tree decorations - a tutorial
This is possibly the quickest and simplest way to use up your fabric scraps and make some toddler/cat proof decorations for the tree!
