Love Is Sweet Inspiration

Love Is Sweet Inspiration

As always I have put together a pattern inspiration post for you, a few ideas of how you might use the fabric that came in your boxes this month. I have to say, this list could have been a long one.

The Buchanan

Yep, gone are the days when Friday was the night for getting dressed up and hitting the town. I'll be honest with you I never have been a big party goer and I've certainly never been one to enjoy dancing in high heels all night.

If you follow any sewing Instagram accounts you will probably have noticed a hashtag that has been doing the rounds the last week or so, you might even have done it yourself! #2017makenine came into being thanks to Rochelle New who decided to post her plans for 2017 and encouraged others to do the same. It has been so inspiring to see what everyone is planning to sew over the coming months so I wanted to get in on the action!

December Inspiration

December Inspiration

The December SewHayleyJane boxes were all about staying warm and cosy when it's cold outside. I love going out for a winter walk when there is frost on the ground, even better if there is snow on the ground. But you gotta stay warm! So I sent out boxes full of super snuggly fleece-lined sweatshirt fabric in the Luxury Boxes and a lovely quilted knit fabric in the Mini and Classic Boxes.
