selfish sewing week part 2

September 25, 2014 Jennie Comments Off

I’ve finished my fabulous curtains for the studio and basted my 70s single bed quilt as well as my third mini quilt for the studio but due to all the building work I’ve not done much else.

I did however just download the fabulous Lola dress from Victory Patterns… I will be working on this tomorrow!! I’ve only got a sweater type pink and black stripe but it was super cheap so good for trying out a pattern!

Hello

Jennie Caminada

I set up cheekyhandmades after I left my job 2010. I really wanted to use all my creative skills, skills I’d had for many years but never had time to use any more, and skills I realised I could and wanted to pass on.

I also wanted to work for myself, I wanted to be able to work around my children. And I am doing all of that now, and am loving it. I get to be surrounded by like minded people, great fabrics, my kids and cats, and listen to music all day. I get to decide what I do every day and how I do it.

I get to teach people how to make things and how joyful craft is. Every day my job gets better, every day I meet and talk to enthusiastic people and I help them achieve their creative potential.
