Maker Monday: MAC Birmingham

Due to Covid-19, i haven't seen by MAC Birmingham family for a while. Unfortunately, MAC isn't due to open until 2021, but in the meantime, i thought I'd throwback to some of the wonderful me-made creations for today's Maker Monday. Lots of sewing and custom pattern cutting projects have been made over the years that I have taught here and I look forward to returning soon and sharing more makes.

Maker Monday: Mending

For Maker Monday this week, i thought i'd switch it up and focus on the mending this week!

Its very rare i will ever throwaway any clothes. 1; its bad for the environment and 2; it can save you money if its mended. This buttonhole ripped and needed reinforcing, so out came the needle and thread and its now as good as new!
