Free motion embroidering the @justacard logo. . . . #justacard #justacardweek #logo #freemotionembroidery

Good morning! Day 2 of @justacard week. If you're not familiar with their great work, check out their Instagram account and website. Today we're encouraged to be creative with the #justacard logo. Here's my interpretation using denim, a little scrap of Kaffe Fassett fabric for the bird, a piece of hemp canvas to go behind the leaf embroidery and lots of free motion stitching in pink for the wording. Phew! Time for a brew. 🌿 🌿 🌿 #supportthemakers #supportsmallbusiness #freemotionembroidery #shopindependent #justacardweek

It's @justacard Indie Week and on day 1 we're invited to introduce ourselves with 10 facts. If you're not familiar yet with the great work @justacard do, celebrating and supporting artists, designers, makers, small businesses and independent shops, do check out their account and website to read more. Here are ten facts about me; 🐱I grew up in Cheshire and as a teenager enjoyed visiting @afflecks_manchester where I loved seeing what the small business owners were making and selling. 🌿I've enjoyed a vegan diet and lifestyle for 26 years. I'm always learning new things about nutrition. 📍 I started working as a trainee dressmaker and pattern cutter after leaving school at 16. ✂️ The Prince's Trust supported my small business start up in my early twenties. ✏️When I was 26 I decided to study Fashion Design at art college. 🐒I have a long standing ambition to dress as a mascot, preferably in a cheeky animal costume and be silly for a few hours. No explanation for this, I just do! 😊I moved to Bristol in 2010 for cancer treatment and I'm still here, living well. 👗Teaching one to one sewing lessons gives me great pleasure as well as workshops. I love to inspire people to make beautiful clothing and accessories. 🌻I studied Practical Horticulture at City of Bristol College in 2014, to learn new things and to celebrate my good health and resilience. 👜Designing,making and selling bags is something I've enjoyed doing for about the past 15 years. 📍 📍 📍 #justacard #supportthemakers #dressmaking #gardening #resilience #horticulturaltherapy #princestrust #sewistsofinstagram #feelingfolksy #justacardweek #patterncutting #patterndrafting #patterncutter #creativelifehappylife
