Our patterns are here!
They’re here! After many months of testing, tweaking and refining, we’re thrilled to be able to present our first patterns!
A Christmas gift guide - day four, men
A Christmas gift guide - day three, magazines
Magazines for me are a real luxury and I don’t think there’s anything better than an unread magazine and an hour to yourself (that’s a mother of two small children talking!). I’ve been given subscriptions as a present before and it was the gift that kept giving - quite literally, every month. You can get subscriptions to most of these but even one issue would make an amazing present.
A Christmas gift guide - day two, children
Since having children, Christmas has taken on a whole new meaning. There’s slightly fewer festive cocktails and slightly more noise…. but shopping for presents is lots more fun!
A Christmas Gift Guide - day one, cosmetics.
Remember when Christmas smellies meant a Body Shop basket with Dewberry scented bath salts? Well those days are long gone. We’re now obsessing over luxe, grown up skincare and make up with extravagant packaging.
A long overdue progress update
All SORTS of exciting things have been happening behind the scenes at gather HQ (amongst others, a wedding proposal!) and both of us have been flat out with both gather and real life (work and children never seem to cut you a break when you most need it right?!).
An Arts & Crafts Day Out
Following the recent Tate Britain Pre-Raphaelites exhibition (which I thought was ace), I’ve been on a bit of a Victoriana tip. And so, last week I took a little trip to the William Morris Gallery in Walthamstow.
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.
Something for the weekend
Let’s be clear about one thing - you don’t need ANY of the following items to become a better seamstress. They won’t stop you sewing things together upside down, they won’t prevent you having to use the seam ripper or tipping your pins all over the floor. Of course, we NEVER do any of these things…ahem…
