As promised, Becca and I have been working hard behind the scenes for Sew Up North on June 24th 2017.  Just over 1 month away now!!! Arrgghhhh!

Now next on our list of appreciation of our sponsors is the Lovely Laura of Cotton Reel Studio!

She has promised us an exclusive  20% discount code for those attending. Yes….You heard right! So you best RSVP! Not forgetting a £30 Voucher too!

If you haven’t come across Cotton Reel Studio before, I highly recommend having a good look around with your favourite brew in hand together with your Paypal details LOL!

They stock my favourite Pattern Designers – Deer and Doe, Megan Nielsen, Tilly and the Buttons, Evielaluve just to name a few! Also not forgetting the beautiful fabrics that Laura has online too as I’ve received some lovely Bird Print Chambray for my upcoming Simplicity Project and it’s just fantastic quality and who doesn’t like a cute print?!

So keep your eyes peeled for my new Project

  Although they are an online business, don’t think that means they aren’t willing to answer any questions you might have about their products. Also Laura will be attending too

So, if you don’t find everything on your shopping list in Leeds, you’ll be able to get hold of it online.

Thank you Laura, you are awesome!

See you in June? Click here to RSVP

Good Evening peeps!

Another day, another Sew Up North update.  I don’t know about you but I’m feeling slightly stunned at how generous people have been with raffle prizes and goody bag discounts. It’s wonderful that people can be so kind and hopefully means we can raise lots of money for the  Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

Today’s kind sponsor is Grace of online store Beyond Measure.  If you haven’t had a look at her site yet, I’d highly recommend a browse.  There is a wonderful range of more unusual, high end habberdashery and supplies.  My personal favourites are the leather ruler bracelet (WANT!), the japanese hand sewing needles and the wooden pin cushions, but you would be spoilt for choice.

Grace has very kindly donated a £20 voucher to the raffle prize pool; on top of that, she’s including a 10% discount in the goody bags for every attendee, so save a few pennies to indulge later; I know I will be doing!

Thank you Grace, you are awesome!

Hi there!

Just a quick post today as nothing is going right today!!

As promised, Becca and I have been working hard behind the scenes for Sew Up North on June 24th 2017.  Just over 2 months away now!!! Ekkkk!!

We’ve got a little trip out planned to taste test the food at the Belgrave (well, rude not to!) but more importantly, we’ve been lining up lots of lovely raffle prizes.

As well as raffle prizes, we’ve been working on the contents of the Goodie Bags! Yay!

We all know that everyone likes to take something home with them (so please do sign up to let us know you’re coming!)  And just like last time, the lovely Lucy at Sew Essential has promised us a discount code for those attending, entitling you to 15% off purchases from their website. Yes….You heard right!

If you haven’t come across the website in the past, I highly recommend having a good look around with your favourite brew in hand together with your Paypal details LOL!

They stock a wide range of Fabric, Patterns, Haberdashery, Machines…. Everything you could need really, it’s a Sewing Superstore!

  Although they are an online business, don’t think that means they aren’t willing to answer any questions you might have about their products.

So, if you don’t find everything on your shopping list in Leeds, you’ll be able to get hold of it online.

Thank you Lucy and everyone at Sew Essential, you too are awesome!

The post More Sew Up North Goodies! appeared first on The Yorkshire Sewist.

Hi there!

It’s been a couple of weeks now since Becca and I announced the next Sew Up North date!! In case you missed the big reveal check out my blog post here with the juicy details!

We’ve been so excited to see so many people signing up on Eventbrite (43 people as Becca checked just now!)  If you haven’t signed up yet, do make your way along to the website and let us know you’re coming.

We’re hoping it will be an even better day out than last time, and to help that along, we’ve been hard at work behind the scenes. Yes we love it that much!

One of the things we’ve been doing a lot of is grovelling, oh yes!  This is both because we want to get everyone who turns up the very best goody bag and because we want the best chance of raising lots of pennies for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance by having amazing raffle prizes.

We’ve been remarkably successful (and don’t know about you… but i will definitely be buying many raffle tickets!) and are incredibly grateful to everyone who has donated so far!

In order to thank all of our lovely sponsors properly, we thought we’d post a short blog post about each one separately, thus giving them lots of lovely attention and thanks for being so amazing.

So without further ado, our first promised raffle prize is from Minerva Crafts.  As I’m sure you know, their online store stocks an absolutely incredible range of everything you could need for a spot of sewing.  In support of the YAA, Vicki has once again promised us a £100 fabric bundle for the raffle.

For those of you who weren’t there the first time around, I can tell you that this is a LOT of fabric.  Here’s a photo of me cuddling the bundle last time around, before i was forced to hand it over to the raffle winner. :/

See? Wouldn’t that be a fabulous thing to take home? I know it would make my Fabric Stash very Happy!!

We’ll be sharing more details over the next few weeks of our other fabulous discounts and prizes, but for now, thank you Minervacrafts, you are awesome!

So what you waiting for… get RSVP now!! Here’s the link just incase you’d forgotten
