I love cosy flannels! I use them in my reversible pinafore dresses/tunics for my 3year old daughter. Quilting cotton print on one side and cosy flannel on the other side. Great for autumn/winter. I've also used flannel for pillowcases too. Thanks for the giveaway.

Sajou .. I love you


I have recently being looking for new suppliers .. to get some cute supplies to sell in the shop .. It is a little difficuilt .. looking for new fabric suppliers .. and a bits and bobs supplier .. you know maybe a little gifts section..customers have already started enquiring about gifts .. and to be honest ladies - I have being a little behind this year (I was pretty behind last year also to be honest).. anyway on my travels I came accross a company called sajou..
...and I have to say was super super impressed with their most beautiful catalogue .. Their supplies and stocks are mostly for cross stitching .. but the most beautiful thread cards - you have ever seen .. small craft boxes ... the cutest wooden measuring tapes ....



to be honest the list goes on ..pin cushions to make .. big letters to cross stitch .. I am thinking christmas stockings .. I think that it is a lovely range ... so ladies .. all of you out there - who cross stitch .. or who have never heard of it but might like to try it .. stay tuned ...

Great old solution to thread knotting ...
