<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Step 1: <b>Cut</b> -
With the width of the fabric folded in half, cut a 15cm long strip from the
cotton fabric for the waistband and 4 equal lengths of dress net (see table
below for net lengths.) A cutting board with metric markings, metal ruler and
rotary cutter make this quick and easy, but if you don’t have them this can be
done with a ruler, chalk and scissors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Step 2: <b>Press folds
in waistband </b>- While to waistband is flat press a double fold using an iron
of 1cm, then 3cm at the top for the elastic and 1cm, then another 1cm at the
bottom for the hem. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Step 3: <b>Back seam</b>
- Because the back seam edges of the waistband are the ‘selvedge’ edges of the
fabric they do not need finishing (handy!) Open out the pressed folds at the
ends of the waistband and join the ends with right sides together, pin and sew
using a 2cm seam allowance. Press the back seam open and the folds back in
place.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Step 4: <b>Stitch
waistband </b>- Machine stitch around the folds on the waistband. Stitch close
(3-5mm) to the inside folded edges. Leave a gap in the stitching of 2cm on the
top section for the elastic to go through.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Step 5: <b>Attach net </b>-
I find it useful to mark the waistband into quarters with pins so I know what
space each 150cm long piece of net has to fit into. Machine sew the net
straight onto the waistband hem in a single layer, gathering up the net by hand
as you go along, the edge of the net should be about 1cm above the hem on the
right side and the stitch line should be in the same place as on the hem. When
you get to the next waistband quarter/150cm piece of net overlap the net pieces
by 5cm so you can’t see the join.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Step 6: <b>Insert
elastic in waistband </b>- Attach 1 end of the elastic to a large safety pin
and pin the other end to the waistband near the 2cm gap in the stitching. Slide
the safety pin into the top fold and pull the elastic through the channel,
gathering up the waistband cotton fabric as the elastic works along. Once the
safety pin reaches the gap in the stitching again pull it out, adjust the
elastic to fit the childs waist measurement, knot the elastic ends together,
trim off any excess and sew the gap closed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Step 7: <b>Decorate</b>
- Trim the petticoat with ribbon, lace, ric-rack or bobble trim. You could also
add bows or ribbon roses, the petticoat will be so pretty it could be worn on
its own with leggings or under a handmade dress made from an Anna Vickery
pattern.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">They’ve been a long time coming…..I’ve been working with Millie Moon for over a year now and I’ve often been asked when people see my little dresses in the shops ‘Do you have a pattern for that?’ or during workshops ‘Can I buy a pattern?’ and the answer is now <b><span style="font-size: large;">YES!!</span></b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">My mission was to create an easy to follow, multi sized range that was simple to sew at home and that you can buy all the lovely materials you need to make at Millie Moon. There’s 3 styles to fit ages 1-5 to start with - a very cute Party Dress with a full skirt, a versatile sleeveless Pinafore Dress and an A-line T Shirt Dress with built in sleeves.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">They’ve been a challenge to put together, I had to use my, somewhat rusty and self taught, CAD experience and call upon some of my lovely friends for their help - huge thanks to Chris at Wing’s Art and Design Studio and Aran at Latitude Photography for their skills, and everyone at Millie Moon for their enthusiasm and patience.</span></div>
<br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I hope you enjoy making the patterns as much as I’ve enjoyed putting them together - all feedback would be much appreciated, I’d love to see photos of your finished dresses and hear your suggestions for the next additions to the range.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Please note…….All my patterns are clearly marked Not For Commercial Use, this means they are for home use only by Mummys, Aunties, Nannys etc making for their friends and family NOT for business or any other monetary gains/sale. As simple as the patterns and instructions look they have taken me a long time to develop and I also design and sell handmade ready to wear dresses. Copyright law exists to protect designers who risk sharing their ideas and I hope people understand and respect this. Thanks x</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The photographer from the local paper Frome Times came by and Rachel; one half of the sisters team who own the business, invited him to return when the workshop was in full swing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> Whether this was prearranged or spontaneous I do not know! All four ladies were happy to have their picture taken and I think it will be a lovely momento of my time at Millie Moon when I am older, our copy has gone in our family keepsake box!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">More importantly, each participant successfully completed a sample sized Roman blind and felt equipped with the skills and knowledge to go home and produce their full sized blinds in their homes.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I too was inspired by the workshop and this seasons trend for "Scandi greys" soft furnishings and bought plenty of my favourite fabric; from the Michael Miller range "Just my Type" by Patty Young, to make blinds and a quilted throw for our bedroom. It feels very much a modern interpretation of Orla Keily to me. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Sunday the 8th of September saw my first whole day of lampshade making in our Frome shop. We used the individual <b>lampshade kits</b> now stocked by Millie Moon which make the whole activity that more approachable to beginners-not to mention more affordable, if you only want to make one, or a few for personal use.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Eight lovely women attended the morning and afternoon workshops and as ever, the range of fabrics chosen varied greatly from person to person. So at the end of each workshop there were four very professional , individual lampshades to wear (!) </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Or of course, you could make them as gifts or adorn your home with them, which probably makes more sense!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The sheer delight of these is they are so easy to do once you have made your first one. There is no sewing involved at all, so they are really relatively quick to complete, certainly something you could make one evening after work on your kitchen table.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Over the last month we have roped in family and friends to help with the painting, decorating and little extras in the new shop. We love the way it looks and we hope you do to. A very big thank you to everyone for their continued help and support, especially local designers; Make me a Dress, Ooh la la Lampshades, Gingergirl, Angela Lai Yen, Fromemaid, Little Fuzzkits, Jo Lucksted Ceramics, Edamay and Unicorn Shoes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We thought you might like a little sneaky peak of the new shop before we open officially... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">Hello hello, I've been at it again - meeting some lovely ladies whilst teaching them the ways of freemotion embroidery at Millie Moon. </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">For a little while now I've taken a break (only a very little one - a smudge of a break) from creating with freemotion embroidery, so it was a lovely change to my day to be passing on the skill to keen sew-ers along with showing off my lovely collection of Anchor Embroidery threads, taking my stork scissors out of hiding and demonstrating the ingenuity of the magic marker pen which I can almost guarantee an'ooh' and an 'aaah'. (All tools that can be found in your Millie Moon Shop.)</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In the class I introduce you to the tools you will need, show you how to set up your machine and demonstrate a few different exercises to build your confidence and knowledge of freemotion embroidery. You will also aim to finish a picture in the class which you take away with you.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><i>W</i><i style="line-height: 18px;">hat is freemotion Embroidery??</i></span><i style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"> - </i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">I hear you cry. Well in essence (also known as freehand machine embroidery) is a technique on your sewing machine that uses your creativity ability to embellish and decorate by drawing. This is not to say you</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"> have to be great at drawing to get the best out of the technique - if you like shape and colour or just sewing you should give it a try.</span></span><br />
<i style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So anyone can have a try?</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">If you can already sew and are quite happy and confident with a sewing machine then you can try freemotion embroidery, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">but I wouldn't say this technique is for everyone. Its a technique I have learnt over the years that firstly you have to have patience (and lots of it at times) and also to keep experimenting and playing at - the more mistakes you make the more you learn and the more rewarding it becomes. A lot of my mistakes involving freemotion embroidery turn into happy mistakes. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Do I need a special machine?</span></i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">No, not at all. A household domestic sewing machine would work fine just check that the dog feeds (the zig zag teeth underneath your needle) can be lowered or you have a metal/plastic plate to go over them: to disengage them.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">When teaching a class in freemotion embroidery - I do love it when a. the students really enjoy themselves and get excited about the technique and the time just flies aw</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #333333; display: inline; line-height: 18px;">ay with you and b. you see a definite style appear within the way the student creates and manipulates the technique. Its very rewarding and a</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">ll in all the class becomes a thumbs-up class.

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Becki settled on a Moda print 'Beacon Cove' with Lobsters. Bright and summery and perfect for this weather we are having at the moment. Using approx 3metres of fabric for the full skirt the dress cost <b>£44.50</b> (plus pattern) Not bad for a summer frock.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I decided to go for a simple denim which will be a great staple in the wardrobe all year, but also an inexpensive way to test the pattern out. But, now I've made it successfully, which fabric next?? </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I added a red polka dot bias to trim the armholes and the neck. In total my dress cost me <b>£12.30</b>! (plus pattern) what a bargain. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The patterns were easy to follow and simple to put together. We worked on the separately, and everything was going well until we got to the fitting. Then the text messages started to flow and a conversation on how to alter the shoulders began. It turns out that we both have strange shoulders and short bodies (blame the parents!) so we had to make similar alterations to the patterns. This was nice and simple and the dresses were finished in a day! </span><br />

Its been such a fab 5 years, we have seen so many fabrics come and go through the doors, and made some great friends along the way. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We decided that as it was our birthday the Frome shop needed a good spring clean and we got a bit carried away and gave it a whole new look.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; text-align: center;">The black shelves and Chandeliers give the fabric room a boudoir feel, the tea chests are perfect for holding the many different interfacings and vilenes and the tin bath is great for storing the bulky poly waddings and cotton battings.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The last project is still work in progress. This hexagon quilt is being made up of 2 1/2" hexagons cut from the fabric in the bundle. The hexagons have been hand stitched into flowers and then placed on 10" squares of plain ivory cotton. There will 21 squares altogether and a boarder to create a quilt approx 1m x 2m . All the fabric has been prepared, now its just the hand sewing of the hexagons to finish. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We were with them at the very first meeting when we made Jubilee corsages with the group. We also popped back to see them in November to do a christmas make with them, little felt gingerbread men. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This time, we decided to teach the group a skill and show them the traditional patchwork method of </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>"English Paper Piecing"</b></span><br />

Each hexagon is sewn by hand, once 7 hexagons have been made, then the group began sewing the hexagons together to create the flowers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hand sewing is very satisfying and english paper piecing is very addictive. Its that little project that you can carry around and do anywhere, in the cafe, on the train, in front the tele. Just pop it into a bag. </span><br />

<br />
Those of you who know me, know I'm not much of a dressmaker - that's Anna and Lucy's forte and boy they do create some lovely pieces. Have you seen Anna's beautiful tulip skirt in store? She will be teaching this as a class - perfect for those summery days, yes I know what you're thinking but positive thinking will bring the sun out I'm sure. Sorry I'm wittering on again mmmmmm....where was I, yes the Sewing Bee - as a non dressmaker but a lover of sewing I found the series inspiring and I was somewhat in awe of these amateur dressmakers (the judges words not mine!) Getting the perfect finish is tricky to achieve at the best of times as you and I both know, so under such tight deadlines and conditions I was very impressed with what they were creating. My favourite piece was in the first episode when Mark (the male contestant with the long hair) made a beautiful monochrome spotty dress - very elegant.<br />
<br />
I like how all contestants varied in age, ability and sewing background - it just goes to show that <br />
anyone with a little patience and passion for creativity can give sewing a go. You never know where it may lead. <br />
<br />
If you're like me - a little inspired and itching to learn a little dressmaking we have classes to caterer for beginners and those at a more intermediate level. I spent a day with Lucy Litchfield on her Beginner's Dressmaking class, to learn a little more....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL-xb1fwJxBVlQhnwEjwsOy3UzahTctOrzcraAV7sbsF6mwXJ0ntpwGLmfIl9AkL1b2TfhyKCXdgB69m92At30a2M_rbUErQWb1wMxwP4jxJzGRolDsOOD_SPzqr8F1tDXZcuqxqBRkCs/s1600/SL702635.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL-xb1fwJxBVlQhnwEjwsOy3UzahTctOrzcraAV7sbsF6mwXJ0ntpwGLmfIl9AkL1b2TfhyKCXdgB69m92At30a2M_rbUErQWb1wMxwP4jxJzGRolDsOOD_SPzqr8F1tDXZcuqxqBRkCs/s640/SL702635.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Whilst spending the day with Lucy I soon began to realise the Beginner's Dressmaking class is perfect for those, like me, who can already machine sew but are new to dressmaking and know next to nothing about patterns. With Lucy's help and guidance the ladies made a simple A-line skirt from a fabric of your choice. The class began with everyone taking their own measurements which were then transferred to the pattern paper to draw out a simple skirt shape. The pattern was then used to draft a simple skirt in calico. Making the pattern in calico may seem like double work but it allowed Lucy and the ladies to tweak and make adjustments to their skirt if needed.<br />

<br />
Once the adjustments are made and the calico pattern fitted nicely, the choosing of fabric and constructing of the skirt began. A waist band and a zip was put in - a little fiddly but all the ladies managed it beautifully.<br />

<br />
A little more sewing and perfecting and before we knew it the day was coming to an end and the ladies had completed their a perfectly fitted skirt. It was a jammed packed day but very satisfying to see the ladies so amazed at their own capabilities and the finished articles were lovely. Final thing - I asked the ladies to try on their skirts' and to show then off! They were only too happy to oblige.<br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Look look</span></b> its April and here comes the rain - <b>the April Showers</b> have arrived, right in our shop window.......but don't panic this is a nice friendly April Shower that we are more than happy to welcome. You could say its raining brightly coloured felt, lovely patterned fabric, buttons, threads and craft craft craft!!! Don't forget its bursting at the seams with smiles too. (Sorry I will stop now with the silliness!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Changing the subject, I've always been a fan of rain clouds and the idea of rain (but dislike forgetting my umbrella and getting wet, who doesn't) so I've been itching for an excuse to create rain themed pieces, what better reason than a fun window display to make everyone smile. I hope you all enjoy the window and if you haven't seen it in the flesh yet please do pop by. You may be enticed with a craft kit or two: I've packed rain into a bag for you: you can make your very own mini 'make me cloud mobile', 'make me rain plushie' and 'make me rain bunting'. Wouldn't it be lovely to have a bedroom filled with rain!! Or a rain party!! Okay just getting a little over-excited.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The talented Gaynor aka <b>Ginger Girl </b>has also been busy creating rain on a bag! Her beautiful embellish me canvas bag kits are ever popular and contain everything you need to create your own original bag - decorate away. Ginger Girl has created making kits of plushies too - you will find an adorable hedgehog, a friendly owl and pretty birds. All hedgehogs, owls and birds like jumping in puddles too didn't you know........the only thing they are missing is a loving home and a name to be proud of.</span><br />

During the beginners 'one day' workshop, Lucy will guide you through process of 'Draughting a simple skirt pattern' to your own measurements, make this from calico so any adjustments needed can be made, learn how to insert a zip and add a hem, then make a finished piece in your choice of Millie Moon fabric. At the end of the day you get to take home a finished perfectly fitting skirt, a pattern of your own and the skills to go on and make more... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Heres a little about Lucy by Lucy: </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Having spent my life on the Somerset levels, I have always had a love for all things old and rustic. I have collected and stored Vintage clothing and fabrics for as long as I can remember and had every intention of making and creating beautiful things to wear, give and sell. However, I lacked the self belief in my creative and technical skill. In September 2010 I lost my mother in the same month as becoming pregnant with my first baby. This tremendous emotional episode in my life gave me the courage to take my sewing further. Life is too short and I want to spend mine with my baby girl Winifred, teaching and sewing!</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I completed an art diploma and a Fashion degree at Winchester School of Art, which culminated in designing, pattern cutting and making a six outfit collection. After graduating I moved to London where I spent an incredible 2 years working for an exclusive fashion boutique Koh Samui selling high end designer clothing to the rich and famous. I also worked part time for the designer Tristan Webber, spending many hours hand stitching couture dresses and fur jackets.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My stint in the fashion industry soon made me realise it wasn’t the life for me and that I needed something more real, honest and enriching to do with my life. I decided to travel solo around the world and afterwards I settled back into Somerset life, fell in love, became a secondary school art teacher and bought some pigs!</span><br />

This has now become a trend in itself!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have always had a passion for traditional dressmaking and admire the way in which vintage clothing is so carefully hand made. My mum was a very creative person and a huge influence on me, sewing many of her own clothes as-well as for my siblings and me and our Barbies! My great grandmother was also a dressmaker so maybe it is in the blood! Now that I have the wonderful Winifred in my life it is her that inspires me the most.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Perri Lewis, writes about contemporary craft for the Guardian, Daily Mail, Company and a selection of modern craft magazines. Its an exciting book about modern craft, something that we at Millie Moon love. On the back of the book is the statement <b>"Craft just got all grown up"</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Some of our favourite designers, Amy Butler, Tatty Devine, Rob Ryan and Kaffe Fassett are among the many who have contributed some of their wisdom to this book. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Reading through the book, it is very well set out, with easy to follow chapters that make you just want to read the whole thing like a novel. But it is also split into easy sections so that you can refer to the section you are interested in and come back to the fab projects in each section.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The book covers a wide variety of crafts including:</span><br />

She has been coming along for a while now, and always has a quilt on the go. This month we were all amazed as she brought in the two memory quilts she has been working on for her girls. They were fantastic and I asked her if we could pop them on to our blog. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Over to Abby:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">I started quilting in June, My brother and sister-in-law were </span><span style="background-color: white;">expecting their first baby, and I thought a baby patchwork would be a </span><span style="background-color: white;">perfect present. They didn't know if they were going to have a boy or</span><span style="background-color: white;"> a girl so it had to be suitable for both. So the binding was a dark </span><span style="background-color: white;">material with tiny strawberries on, and the patches were mixtures of</span><span style="background-color: white;"> colourful dotted material, ladybirds, frogs and stripes. They had a </span><span style="background-color: white;">lovely little girl in September, and she loves the quilt.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I then made</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> a similar one for my nephew, with jars of insects and more boyish</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> material.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Then I made the quilts for my daughters christmas presents</span><span style="background-color: white;"> (pictured), these were a much bigger task as not only are they six </span><span style="background-color: white;">times the size of the ones I had done for the babies, but I had to try</span><span style="background-color: white;"> to do them without them realising. As well as buying special materials</span><span style="background-color: white;"> with designs that suited them, I also bought all the baby grows and</span><span style="background-color: white;"> beautiful clothes that I couldn't part with when they had grown out of</span><span style="background-color: white;"> them down from the attic. After a large glass of wine I managed to </span><span style="background-color: white;">build up the courage to cut them up . My mum bought round some clothes</span><span style="background-color: white;"> from when I was a baby for me to use, and she also made the </span><span style="background-color: white;">buttonholes for the pockets as I didn't have a clue.</span><span style="background-color: white;">The hardest patch were the coca-cola ones. I traced the writing from</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">the label of a cola bottle, then cut it out and pinned it to the</span><span style="background-color: white;"> fabric then cut round it, but it was very fiddely. My favourite </span><span style="background-color: white;">patches have all the funny things they used to say as toddlers</span><span style="background-color: white;"> embroidered onto it. Its nice to look at them and remember. The girls</span><span style="background-color: white;"> favourite patches are one of the pockets with a laminated four leaf </span><span style="background-color: white;">clover in them that we found on a walk one day, (luckily we found two</span><span style="background-color: white;"> or that could have been awkward) and the marmite and nutella jars. I</span><span style="background-color: white;"> have just finished making a single quilt for my eldest niece, which I</span><span style="background-color: white;"> hope she will like. I have also made my girls a couple of dresses. It</span><span style="background-color: white;"> is a fairly new hobby but one I enjoy very much, I have met some new</span><span style="background-color: white;"> friends through the Milliemoon sewing club, and they are always happy to</span><span style="background-color: white;"> help if I have any questions.</span></span><br />

"I studied Fashion Design at The University of the West of England in Bristol, and graduated with a Ba(hons) in 2005. During my time at university I was selected to exhibit at Graduate Fashion week in London and at The Royal West of England Academy in Bristol. My Fashion Design degree covered many areas including design, pattern cutting and sample development, garment construction, illustration, technical drawing, styling, business, visual culture and contextual studies.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
After university I started my career as a Junior Designer for a specialist company which design and produce heavy duty leather and textile products, mainly for the Police and Armed Forces. It was very much ‘in at the deep end’ but great experience - if I could work with leather on heavy machinery I can sew anything….</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Along the way I have also worked for a luxury leather brand and a floral designer - I always seem to pick nice/tempting products to work with, and now I’m at Millie Moon, trying to resist new fabric every week!</div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
I also currently work with amazing Womenswear and Bridal designer Alexandra King. I met Alexandra at university and now help her create handmade clothing and accessories for women worldwide from her Somerset studio. We design and make every garment, mainly dresses, in house and strongly believe in traditional craftsmanship and service. I am mainly involved with the actual making of the dresses, it may surprise you to know that despite my background in ‘design’ I hate drawing, so we work well together - Alexandra is an inspiration and truly lovely friend. <a href="http://www.alexandra-king.com/">www.alexandra-king.com</a></div>

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since school/college/university and beyond my influences have come from twentieth century art, media and design. Current projects I am working on include making a Wedding Dress for an old school friend who is getting married in June, working on a new Chilrenswear/Flowergirl mini collection ready for a Wedding Fair at Bristol Zoo we are exhibiting at in March, oh and i’m about to move house so i’m collecting ideas for new interiors projects, starting with re-upholstering 6 dining chairs….</span><br />

I’ve been leading workshops for Millie Moon for nearly a year and have just started doing a few days in the Wells shop - it’s great to be able to share skills in such a colourful and creative environment. I’m also looking forward to my first Millie Moon Hen Party soon. My next workshops include Teen Dressmaking, How to make a Childs Dress, How to make a Clutch Bag and How to use a paper pattern. I am also available for 1-1 sewing/dressmaking tuition.</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Introducing our new <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Lampshade</b></span> workshops with the lovely Harriet from <b>Podgy Pigeon.</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">On Tuesday evening, Harriet came along to the Frome shop for the first workshop session. 6 keen students were ready and willing. The evening started off with the difficult bit. What fabric to choose?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Now this was more taxing than we thought so a cup of tea was definitely needed. Once we had all finally picked our 1/2 metre of fabric, Harriet was talking through the materials and tools needed and demonstrating the first step.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hi, this is <b><span style="font-size: large;">Becki</span></b> and I have been tweeting about my layer cake quilt. The tweeters have asked for it as a blog post so here we go. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We often get asked what you do with a layer cake? A layer cake is a MODA name for a bundle of 10" pre-cut squares. A MODA bundle contains about 42 squares, easily enough for a single quilt. A Riley Blake bundle has about 24 squares. In this demonstration I am using a Riley Blake bundle called 'Sunny Skies". </span></div>

So one normal Millie Moon day in Wells I was cutting fat quarters - those who know me know that I'm a fan of cutting fat Quarters,, anyway whilst cutting away I thought to myself <i>"crikey I do cut a lot of Fat Quarters......I wonder how many I actually cut on a Millie Moon day........"</i> and then I began to have a bit of a brainwave and jumped on the good old text to Becki and Rachel, and they also liked the idea....well actually Rachel's reply was (and I quote) <i>"you are a nutter. Lets work a plan. Keep a count!"</i><br />
<br />
So here I am in the Wells shop with my tally chart and my pile of spotty and plain fabric ready to start cutting and counting fat Quarters. But you're probably asking why am I counting fat Quarters, and this is where you come in.<br />

As you already know (and have pencilled in the diary) the <span style="color: blue;">Millie Moon shopping evening is on Tuesday 4th December 6-8pm at the Frome Shop, </span>And as an extra little thank you for all your support and custom this past year, Becki and Rachel and the team at Millie Moon would like to give you a chance to win <span style="color: blue;">a fat quarter bundle.</span> All you have to do is to submit a guess with your purchase on the Millie Moon shopping evening, of how many fat quarters I have cut on this particular but regular Millie Moon day. The winner will be announced at the end of the evening. How easy is that, to win yourself some<span style="color: blue;"> lovely fat quarters.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
So where was I........ I started with spottys and plains, and then onto the beautiful Tildas. £18 per mtr or 4 Fat Quarters for £16. A bundle of these would make such a lovely Christmas present, some of my favourite fabrics in the whole shop come from the Tilda range. If I could I would have an envelope cushion in each and everyone of the Tilda fabrics.......it would be like cushion heaven. Sorry getting distracted. Cut, cut, cut.</div>

After filling up on Tilda I decided to tackle the fabric wall and all the Fat Quarters that live here (okay most of the fabrics that live here, we do have an awful lot of fabrics). There came the Modas: Odds and Evens - Vintage Kids, which is a new range of fabrics......simply sublime. (I love the word sublime!) Cut, cut, cut.<br />
The Moda fabrics are £14 per mtr or four Fat Quarters for £12.<br />

<br />
And finally the last to cut the Moda - Marmalade Bunches (what a yummy name, I do wonder who comes up with them). Cut, cut ,cut. My favourite colour combination - aquas, reds and whites, I may just have to add some of these to my fabric stash, well I have been really good recently.<br />

<br />
So can you guess how many fat Quarters were cut?<br />
I have passed the figure to Becki and Rachel who will put it in the safe ready for the Millie Moon shopping evening, and the reveal. Good luck and I look forward to your guess and seeing you on the shopping evening. Just a bit of fun born from my random curiosity.<br />
<br />
P.S Tell all the other Millie Mooners too, <span style="color: blue;">someone has to win the fat quarters!</span><br />
