The first donated squares to our blanket. The Lucy Loves Fabric Knitting Club are knitting for London Street Rescue homeless charity. A few of the girls who attend the club are knitting up squares in between their more complex projects to make some patchwork blankets for the LSR charity. Great teamwork for a great cause!
I haven’t popped by here for a chat in a rather long time… which is naughty. So here I am…
It’s been busy at Lucy Loves Fabric, after the Grand Designs and talking to Homes and Antiques magazine about a potential photo shoot… there has been lots of excitement.
More excitement being in the shape of a lovely white walled inspiring space which is going to be the Lucy Loves Fabric Studio. Gosh – the organising of this project has not been the easiest… BUT the foundations are going down on THURSDAY… yes, THIS Thursday. My lovely luxury log cabin is ordered although I’m STILL waiting for the delivery date….
Everything else is ready to go. All the electrics have been ordered so that I will have my laptop, sewing machine, over locker, kettle (phew), iron, lights, heating all working in my creative emporium.
Working from home certainly has it’s benefits but I cannot express enough how much I NEED this studio space! I need to be able to leave the house in the morning and ‘go to work’, I need to have a proper work bench, I need to have a room dedicated to my work… in the house LLF is gradually encroaching into the other rooms which I always swore wouldn’t happen. Humph. The fact this has happened means LLF is successful do you think!?…. well we have certainly been busy in less than a year.
Our ‘Introduce Fabric into your home Consultations’ are proving a great success. If you are interested please contact me. I love talking and sharing fabric ideas with people, it’s such a pleasure to share something you love so much. Fabric holds so much relevance in life, in clothing and interiors – things that are important to people, important in distinguishing their difference to someone else. Their identity. You can be so individual with your fabric and pattern choices. Possibilities are endless in projects with fabric….
We are also really enjoying our talks with the Women’s Institute. Our latest WI gave me a couple of tickets to a local garden show which I went to with my Mum on Friday. It was lovely to meet Betty at the door and also to be spotted by a couple of other WI members on my walk around. It’s great for me to get involved in the local community with you all.
Once the studio is up and running I shall be having a little opening soiree. We’ll also be hosting beginners knitting lessons and beginners sewing classes. I hope to host a creative book club and the odd creative film night. I hope this all sounds interesting to you all, I’ve had some wonderful feedback from you which has been keeping me going over these testing months of organising the build.
I keep looking at images of Amy Butler’s studio today. My dream…. I’ve popped a few photos in between my post. Talented lady. Check out our Amy Butler range here.
I will keep piecing together my little fabric world… and I’ll keep you all updated. Let me know what’s going on with you too…
