This summer has been the season of the sewing machine - conveniently coinciding with numerous damp days and a tediously long period of post-viral malaise. I’ve had the sewing machine for fifteen years but have never really got to grips with it. However, with the help of YouTube clips, advice from skilled friends, and assistance from a very helpful family of monkeys, I’ve conjured up a few bits and bobs, made mostly from preloved shirts and jeans, procured from local charity shops.
If there are any designs here that take your fancy, drop me a line on emily@rangeborders.co.uk to see if they are still available, or let me know your requests and colour preferences, and I will dive into my shirt stash to see what I can put together. I can also advise you on how to pay, and calculate postage and packing, if you aren’t local to South Manchester.
