Such a brilliant day with everyone @ another Sew&Bond™!

Today we saw lots of WIPs that have been in the works for months and some more were begun.😂

Some of the projects being worked on were dresses, shirts, blouses, trousers and a teddy bear.

Anjalin also cloned one of her RTW dresses, made it a little smaller and nearly finished it too. And she's just at the start of her sewing journey.

I also managed to sew 3 seams on a project I am working on for my holidays!💪

We were spoilt today for food by my partner too.

He made us homemade bread with ham and cheese, cheese and onion (first time on the menu and what a hit it was!), and egg. We also had sausage rolls, curried carrot and peas pasties, lemon cake and wild blackberry muffin with white chocolate topping.😋

Thank you so much for coming today! It was a pleasure having you!❤️

Another very successful trouser making workshop in partnership with !

I really wanted everyone to tackle the zip fly and get to fitting the trousers and that’s exactly what happened.

Everyone worked at their own pace in a relaxed atmosphere and it was a really enjoyable day.

Lots of different fabrics were chosen to make the trousers in.

There was corduroy, stretch denim and “normal” denim, crepe and a lace fabric that needed to be lined.

Everyone looked lovely in their trousers with some having to make minor adjustments and others none at all! What a win!

Everyone loved it so much, I need to run this workshop again. I am thinking September now. Drop me a DM if you would be interested ❤️

When I first had this idea, I had no idea if it would actually work out.

Like everything else I've created so far, I just knew I wanted to create something special.

A chance to step away from everyday life, slow down, make beautiful things, eat delicious food, laugh, chat and spend time with people who simply get why we love sewing so much.

Yes, I already have my Sew&Bond™ events, with borderline Michelin-star food, a spacious venue and amazing people.

But they are only 5.5 hours long and I'm still busy setting everything up, getting the room ready and making sure everything runs smoothly.

This time, I wanted something different.

I wanted a whole weekend where we could completely switch off from everyday life. No rushing home afterwards. No watching the clock. Just sewing, chatting, eating well, relaxing and enjoying the company of people who share the same passion.

Finding the right venue wasn't easy.

I spoke to several venues and visited some before I finally found Browsholme Hall!

Fast forward to now and 90% is sold out with 1 Pod Room and 1 Shared Room left! 🤯

And I have another exciting update...

I'm so happy to welcome Prym as an official partner!🎉

Having brands like and now supporting me, means so much to me. Having partners who genuinely believe in what I'm creating makes this retreat even more special and I can't wait to share it with everyone coming along. (A few other surprises might be coming along!)

If you have been thinking about coming, this is your sign not to wait much longer. Once these final two places are gone, that's it. (For now...until 2027 😊)

My first Sewing Retreat is happening in 2026! (This year has definitely been a year of firsts for me and I’m loving it ❤️)

After speaking to 32 venues and visiting several of them, I finally found one that felt just right.

The food is excellent, the gardens are beautiful and the accommodation is lovely. It feels like the perfect setting for a relaxed, creative weekend of sewing together.

There will be only 12 spots available, so it will be a small and intimate retreat.

The retreat will take place over the weekend of 20th November 2026.

I’ll be sharing more details over the next few days but if you’re interested in joining, sign up to the waitlist!

Yesterdays's Sew&Bond™ went by too quickly!

I love this little sewing community that we have built here.

Everyone is warm and friendly and always on hand to help each other out, whether that be sewing related or otherwise.

There was a wide range of projects going on. There were cushion covers, skirts, tops, dresses, pj bottoms, t-shirts and cloning of much loved store bought pieces.

Thank you so much for coming today, it was a pleasure spending the day with you!❤️

Sew Your Own Trousers Workshops in partnership with Janome is now open for bookings!

If you ever made trousers that didn't quite fit the way you hoped or you've been putting off making your first pair because they seem intimidating, this workshop is for you.

Together we will make the Thea Trousers by Tilly and the Buttons but before the workshop even begins, you will receive your pattern in the post and complete a fitting questionnaire. This means we can identify any adjustments before you even cut into your fabric.

On the day, I will guide you step-by-step through the construction while explaining common fitting issues and how to improve the fit for your body. With a small group, you will have plenty of opportunities to ask questions and get individual support.

You will leave not only with a beautiful pair of handmade trousers but also with a better understanding of trouser fitting that you can use in future projects.

📅 Date: 17th July 2026 (Fri)
⌚ Time: 09.45 - 16:15 (6.5h)
📍 Location: Janome HQ

H wanted to make baskets to keep her pens and pencils in at school, so we made two!

Since she had only decided on this project a few minutes before I arrived we didn't have all the tools, but we improvised.

We used some felt and had to cut it and sew it back to reshape it to the size of the piece of fabric we cut so it could give the basket some shape and not be floppy.

Some serious thought was given to fabric choices and they turned out so well together!

If you (or someone you know) are craving more confidence at the sewing machine and have been wanting support, reassurance, or just someone in your corner while you sew - I’d love to help. Or if you know someone who would, feel free to pass this along. Drop me a message!

I knew there would be interest in the 2026 sewing retreat.

I just didn’t expect this level of response and I’m incredibly grateful for it.

The retreat is intentionally small, limited to just 12 people and the waitlist has already grown far beyond that.

It’s brought back memories of when I launched the waitlist for the Sewn at Midnight Gala.

I remember thinking: I know this event will be special regardless of numbers…but deep down, I wasn’t sure I could fill a 50-guest event.

And then it sold out.

There’s something strange about the moment things begin to shift.

It's like you can feel it. At least I am sensing something different. Even regulars at my events, say the same thing. something feels different.

Less about quantity and more about quality. Really what people want, instead of what I think they want.

So many people had mentioned wanting something like this. (Honestly, it was the same with the Sewn at Midnight Gala, people kept saying there wasn’t anything like it in the North West of England.)

Thank you to everyone who joined the waitlist! ❤️

Extra thanks to Janome, who once again said yes to this before even knowing exactly what it was or what was happening. That kind of trust and support means a lot.

Brenda wanted help understanding a pattern to make a dress.

In one of our sessions we cut all the pieces from a duvet cover and started construction.

Brenda finished the rest of the dress at home and brought it back to show me! She did an excellent job!

In our next session, we made my pattern, the Lisbon Organiser. It turned out so good!

Every single version of it turns out so beautiful and unique!

The fabric choices for this on worked so well together!

Well done on all your hard work Brenda! ❤️

What a fantastic creative day!

This time instead of me making up the kits, I thought it would be fun to see where everyone's creative choices would take them.

We spent about 45 minutes making decisions on colours, prints, zips, zip pulls, webbing, lining...it's amazing how many creative decisions we have to make for one item!

But that is the joy of handmade - being able to create one of a kind pieces.

Surprisingly, most of the group went for the same design and similar colours.

We are missing a couple of people in our group photo here, but we had a great relaxing day altogether.

Next workshop will be on the 17th of July and this time I will shift from bag making to dressmaking. Stay tuned! ❤️
