Something I have plenty of is wipes (or at least I have lots of scraps ready to make into wipes!)

A great wee super easy eco swap, use them in the kitchen, the bathroom, wherever you want really; and then just pop them in the wash with your towels (no fabric conditioner please!).

They are approximately 5x5 inches, and are now £1 each. Just let me know how many you want. Postage for up to ten wipes is £2, or you can collect from me in Wick.

You might have noticed things have been very quiet here at Little Auk Sewing…and I’m sad to say that’s the way it’s going to remain for now ☹️

I’m working more outside the house, so I just don’t have the time to continue with my sewing - not if I want to keep any kind of work/life balance and do my own stuff!

I’m not saying I’ll never do any more here, I’ve got a decent stash of fabric to get through (so if there’s something you’ve been thinking about now is the time to order!). And I might pop up in stories with various sale stuff and offers.

I can’t thank you enough for the support you have shown me over the last few years ☺️

As always I need your help choosing, and if you want to put a definite order in for any of them just drop me a message - it helps me know how much to get.

And if you have ideas of something you’d love to see, comment below and I’ll see if I can find something you might like 😃

Another classic fabric used up. I’ve loved this striking print since I started, now it’s all done and time to look for some new ones!

(Maybe just enough left for a bib or a few wipes!)

That’s me all done with posts, hopefully you enjoyed hearing a wee bit about what I do 😊

The last wee bit of this fabric made a lovely pair of dungarees 😍

Todays Meet the Maker prompt is ‘details’…

A good opportunity to show off my labels and why I use these particular ones.

I’m sure I can’t be the only parent who has had complaints of scratchy labels that need to be cut off!

I started sewing with the traditional satin ribbon labels, but I then discovered a company that printed labels on to jersey fabric. So now my labels are printed on soft, organic cotton jersey fabric and I haven’t had to cut a label off since!

And I do love my rainbow thread 😃🌈

Almost forgot I’m supposed to be doing this Meet the Maker thing 🙈😂

Today’s prompt is gifting ideas…

I think adding a matching bib to something makes for a lovely gift. Or a set of three bibs also makes a lovely wee present, great for when you can’t decide what fabric to choose!

Piles of scraps…does anyone know any schools, nurseries, children’s clubs, craft groups etc who might want some scraps for projects? Just drop me a message 😀

Feel free to share or tag anyone that might be interested!
