On Saturday ( 28th March 15) we (we being me and the mother in law) attended a sewing expo in London called;
The Stitching Sewing & Hobbycrafts Show.
We learnt so much and probably spent to much however I highly recommend it for all you sewers next year.
As we entered the hall the first stall we saw was a sewing clinic. Now the lady working on it, Thelma was amazing she had so many hand outs on how to make adjustments to patterns and also showed me how to adjust a pattern for a bigger busted lady like myself and her. (So their will be a blog on that for you all later.) She also recommended to books which is pictured below to help you adjust a pattern to whatever issue you may be having with it. Which funny enough the mother in law already owns so of course I am now borrowing!
Next we found the pattern bar the place were I spent so much money however they were half price! Once again lots of lovely helpful handouts.

Next was mostly stalls, selling a range of beautiful items.
So I purchased:
- Some beautiful pink butterfly embroidery scissors for cutting thread off my garments.
- Bias Binding.
- Cat Buttons.
- An Amaze Brush for removing bobbles, lint and cat hair off of clothes or furniture.
- Bobbins - 12 for £2.50 such a sewing!
- A Bobbin holder. Which doesn't allow them to move or unravel.
Unfortunately no dress makers dummy so that looks like an internet purchase for me!
Finally in the afternoon their was a talk (which there will be a blog for) about how to dress and create illusions with your body shape. No I won't go into too much detail in this blog however lets just say I'm loving my body more, and now I know how to dress with be feeling more confident. But please don't be deterred the blog will be for all size women after all I have some junk in my trunk and like to cover it. But after this talk I want to show the gorgeous curves I was given.
Anyways as always till the next blog... Keep Stitching.
