Thanks Red Tractor Designs. I love this.

I love a good rummage through an op shop or destash for pieces of fabric. I’ve obviously been very successful as I have so much that I’ve curated a great selection for you to purchase.
Come and rummage for yourselves, this Sunday at secondchance.bendigo. Bendigo Showgrounds 10 am to 4pm.

Did someone say bargain?

We have decided to transition away from stocking paper patterns and free up the space for some amazing new fabric suppliers that we met with on our last trip.
So that means we have marked all our patterns down by 40%.

This quick guide shows what’s actually causing it and what to check before you start again.

👉 Save this for later — it can save your fabric and your patience.
