Sew me something . . .

Just packing my basket and getting all my bits & bobs together, because tomorrow I'm off to spend the WHOLE day at the lovely Sew Me Something Emporium in the beautiful Stratford-upon-Avon to do their  "Sew me a Reversible Skirt"  workshop.  

 

 That's the fabrics I've chosen for the two sides of the skirt, they're lovely Amy Butler cottons.

 
Note: the essential inclusion of McVities new DOUBLE choc digestives for extra sustenance 
and energy   ; - )
 
 I'm sew looking forward to it . . .
{the workshop, that is . . . although I am looking forward to the biscuits too)

Wishing you a happy Friday ,
xoxo

      Thanks Shane - I do love working with Amy Butler fabrics too, it's just so hard to pick one (or two in this instance) from all the lovely rolls!
      And yes, Stratford is one of my favourite places and we're so lucky to live so near by :-)
      Happy Monday,

      Tee hee - thanks - and I'm not sure what the US equivalent of digestive biscuits would be ! I'm going to ask a friend who used to live in Michigan and I'll get back to you on that one :-)

    That fabric is lovely!I hope you have a great time!! A chocolate digestive biscuit would be lovely!

    I read up on US versions, apparently they don't eat biscuits like that but they are called sweetmeal biscuits?
