This handwoven purse was made by my client's mother using threads from the materials used at the helicopter factory she used to work at, here in Somerset. It was unravelling front and back, so I was asked to reweave the fabric. I also secured seams that were coming undone. The thread was carefully colour matched to the original weft thread and the remaining warp threads were reused.

I've just finished a lengthy 1910s crewelwork sofa commission. My remit was to transfer all the embroidery to a new backing fabric, carefully cutting out, accurately placing and pinning, and then stitching each motif into place, as well as stabilising any holes within the embroidery. It was stitched by Ethel and Dulcie Booker in 1915, both of whom stitched their names on the original fabric. The client will now take on the reupholstering of the textile onto the knole sofa.

We hope to see you there.

I'm loving working at my new trestles, made by my talented uncle. They are so easy to adjust and feel so smooth to touch. My 25 year old IKEA trestles were very useful but not in the same class as these lovely beech wood ones!

Thanks to Tears for Fears for the soundtrack 'Sewing (😊 😆) the Seeds of Love '.

This afternoon I'm putting together the kits for my Napoleonic Goldwork Sampler Course which starts in March. I love the scarlet broadcloth that we will be working on. It really zings and will show off the goldwork beautifully. I can't wait to work my own sampler alongside my students!

This course is sold out, but I am running it again in May at the earlier time of 3-5pm UK time. Each session is recorded in case the session is missed by the student. There are still spaces remaining. Please see my website for more information and to book.
