WOYWW....

 It's been another busy week for me here at Sewing by Annie's.....I've been so grateful for the cooler temps.





My rail has filled, emptied and filled again....everything from trousers to Jumpsuits and dresses.


The customer that asked me to make the 5 Memory bear came back this week with more tops to have 3 more made :-)

They were really lovely to make and my cystomer is thrilled with them.





The other thing I can share this week is that the twins have been to Disneyland, Paris with their Mum, Dad and lots of friends.  Lexi and her dance troop danced there at the weekend...what an exciting time for them all.  I have seen a few videos of their dancing and they all did very very well.  Something they will never forget I'm sure.

That's all from me for this week.  I will do my best to pop over to see what you've been busy with this week.  Hope all is well and happy with you.

Hugs,

 It's a little cooler for me this week thankfully because my customers have been coming fast and furious.

I have...

  • Shortened 2 layers on a stunning long, bright pink maternity dress
  • Shortened another dress
  • Took a dress up on the shoulders
  • Shortened 6 pairs of trousers
  • Took in a pair of trousers on the waist and seat and made...







... another lovely school memory bear.

And it's only Wednesday!!

I've been keeping busy as you can see :-)

Two of my customers this week were pregnant so my midwifery skills are never wasted :-)







Saturday I was treated to a lovely afternoon lunch by Michelle [our eldest daughter].  We had a lovely time together and even managed to pop into the two fabric shops in town while we were out....I just might have bought a few fat quarters while we were there :-)

What a treat. 😍😍😍


That's all from me for this week.  I hope you've have had a lovely week too.  I will pop over to see what you've been up to ASAP.

WOYWW...

Phew it's hot.  I don't know about you but I'm ready for some cooler weather.  We were away last week in a lovely little cottage up in Yorkshire and boy was it hot.  The air conditioner in the car was certainly put to good use.

We came home Friday and since then my phone hasn't stopped going....I think my customers missed me :-)

I have....

  • Shortened a bridesmaid dress
  • Took in a dress for holiday use
  • Shortened a pair of trousers for a page boy and.......





....made these 5 gorgeous Memory bears for a much loved Mum, Nan and Great Nan.
The lady who died had 6 daughters and these bears are for just one of them so there could well be more orders coming soon.

And all that has been done in just two days!!


Peggy was as good as gold away with us in the cottage last week but seems to be enjoying being at home now.
She has sat here every morning since we got back but by the time the sun moves round to the back of the bungalow she will be found stretched out on the floor tiles where it's nice and cold.

I hope you have managed to keep cool this week.  I will pop by to see what you've been up to ASAP.

It's a celebratory post from me  this week because I have now made my 1000th Memory bear.....  This week I made..





...another school bear for a child leaving the school nearest us.  I made one for his elder brother a couple of years ago.  I so love repeat orders.






I also made these two lovely bears in memory of a special Aunt....these were lovely to make and were so cuddly when finished.







Our garden is making us smile in every corner....most survived the heat and I'm sure I could here them drink when we had a shower of rain at the weekend.






That's all from me for this week.  Please raise a glass to help me celebrate. I hope you have a fun week and I will see you soon.

Hugs,
