The Sewing Room

I visited my first Cath Kidston shop today. My Daughter bought me one lot of fabric and I got two lots. When you buy fabric in Laura Ashley - they cut right on the metre mark - In this shop the girl cut it plus 4 inches ! Every little helps!

Thanks - I have been looking on youtube as I've ordered some material to make some cushion covers for the living room - it's always more pressure when you're doing it for someone else!
