Back to the grindstone today, busy drawing up illustrations for my new book ✏📚🤓 I'm desperate to do some sewing so I'll have to do it vicariously through you guys!! What have you been sewing this weekend? ✂️

There's just one place left at both of my upcoming scarf making workshops in Brighton. Saturday 24th Nov or Sun 2nd Dec 10am-1pm just £35. Leave a comment or email me on post{at}wendyward.co.uk to book. They make the perfect Christmas gifts to give or keep for yourself 😉

Voting in the #britishsewingawards2018 ends tomorrow. Still time to vote for my book Beginner's Guide to Sewing With Knitted Fabrics which has been nominated best book!!! There's a link to vote in my profile. If you've already voted I love you forever 😉❤

Sewing hasn't been uppermost in my mind lately. I've been back in Sheffield again spending quality time with my oldest friends and celebrating the too short life of one. I expect normal sewing service will resume at some point next week.
