Thanks Ami! I try to go for something usable so gift bags and pencil cases are always a winner!

I’m always delighted when the Elves at UKQU HQ ask if I wouldn’t mind taking a look at a new fabric range and writing up a little review. And when I received a bundle of 10′ squares from Lynne Goldsworthy’s new ran…

One thing that stood out from the Grenfell Towers Quilt appeal was the generosity of the sewing and quilting community. People gave fabric, wadding, blocks, whole quilts and even money to help us achieve our goal of…

From the 5″ cut squares to the 3.5″ finish block there was a small piece left. It could be saved for a bit of paper piecing or perhaps some 1″ hexies. I think using the bigger sized blocks would give you some reasonable sized scraps to play with.

Who doesn’t love a new toy? Especially a sewing one! I was thrilled to be asked to test and review the June Tailor Inc Twist ’n Stitch Pinwheel Ruler. I’ll admit when looking at the pictures I didn’t recogni…
Nice review. I have a question please – I think u have seen this used in a video previously, and felt that there seemed to be a lot of fabric wastage. Did you find this, or were the left over pieces usable? Thanks.
I not u – sausage fingers at work…..

Looks like something else to add to my “I’d like to have a go at one of those” list!
I’d absolutely love to make one of these for myself – then probably many more for presents! Love your fabric choices x
Looks like a really good bag and sounds like a really good pattern!
Lovely Amy. Good to have a pattern road tested. If I won it I could use some more of my vinyl.
Love Aneela Hoey patterns from her book. Would really like to try this one.
Lovely bag. Perfect to carry my ‘bits and bobs’ to sewing group

Great in-depth honest review, sounds like a challenging but fun project and looks great
Looks lovely and straight forward
Such a lovely and useful looking bag, the fabric is very cute.
Looks like a very usual pouch and such cute fabric.
That looks like a good bag to add to my collection of tool bags.
Wow, that is a gorgeous bag! Looks like a really handy bag too!
Hello, I saw this pattern a few weeks ago, when I was looking for something cute to sew for a SWAP. I like this pouch and would love to have the pattern. Thanks for the chance to win!!
This pouch is lovely. Would be perfect for my daughter’s travels around Europe in her campervan.
I haven’t made a bag or a pouch yet but only a day or so ago I was thinking I would really like to have a go at making one. I’m unusually nervous about it (for me) but they are just such useful things aren’t they. Will defo have to overcome any anxieties and just have a go 🙂 Thank you so much for your blog Amy x
Beautiful bag, beautiful done ❤
