There's a new bag on the sofa 😊

Better photos tomorrow but what do you think?

Today's fabrics 👀 I'm not sure how much sewing I'll get done though as I have woken up with a stinking headache that just won't shift 😭

Who doesn't loves The Breakfast Club?

Good morning pumpkins! 🎃🧙🏻‍♀️🪄🧹

I'll be sewing tomorrow! What do you want me to make?

Christmas presents?

Hello! I've been quiet - but only on social media! How have you been?

Here's my latest commission - 10 sets of scrubs for teddy bears.

Who'd like to see me making more vintage inspired clothing?

Have you signed up to my newsletter? I'll be sending out the first one at 10pm tonight...it'll include a sneaky discount code too!

Please click through and read the full post. Makers who don't charge their worth don't help anyone, let alone themselves (I'm guilty of this too).

I see this all the time.

Makers who are frightened to charge what their work is actually worth.

They look at what other people are charging. They worry that somebody won't pay £35 for a handmade decoration. They discount. They absorb their time. And very often, the bit that disappears from the price is their own wage.

But handmade businesses are allowed to make money.

You're not just charging for the materials in front of you.

You're charging for your time.
Your skill.
The years it took to learn that skill.
The equipment.
The mistakes.
The packaging.
The photography.
The admin.
The electricity.
The website.
And yes, that includes you making a profit! Unapologetically!

Because sustainable businesses still have to be able to make money.

That's how they get to be there next year.
