What's new in my sewing world? Patterns, fabrics and why I'm revisiting my Make Nine.

Hi everyone! Grab a cuppa and settle in for a bumper catch up on where I’ve been, a mini-haul, why I’m rethinking my sewing goals and why that’s totally OK.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions on what I might make with my new fabric, especially the coffee pattern fabric. I love to hear from you all, and I always try to reply.

I’ve listed details of as many items mentioned as possible below.
