I Went to The Stitch Festival… I didn’t expect THIS 💛🧵

Come along with me to The Stitch Festival in London 🧵✨ I thought I was going for fabric… but it turned out to be about something completely different 💛 From catching up with friends, meeting so many of you in real life, and supporting the small businesses I love all year round — this weekend was such a special reminder of what this sewing community is really all about. I was there from Thursday to Sunday, spent three wonderful days at the festival (with Mr Sparkles joining me on Saturday!), and even popped into the gorgeous Ray Stitch fabric shop — complete with a husband sofa 😄 I may have come home with a little haul of fabric and notions… but my main takeaway was a heart full of love and a cup full of joy from everyone I met, waved at, hugged and chatted to 🧵💛 I’m feeling so inspired and already making plans for future makes and collaborations! Sending big love to Victoria from Little Rosie Cheeks on her beautiful new pattern, and to the wonderful women at Ethal and Joan — women supporting women is such a joy to see ✨ And to everyone I met over the weekend — thank you 💛 I may not have mentioned everyone by name, but every moment meant so much. If you were there, let me know in the comments — I’d love to say hello again! #StitchFestival #SewingVlog #SewingCommunity #SupportSmallBusiness #SewistsOfYouTube
