Pretty Fabrics and Trims Schoolhouse Lesson One Sarah's Favourite Tools for Hand Embroidery

Welcome to the Pretty Fabrics and Trims Schoolhouse, where we will be sharing some short films to support our kits and subscription clubs, which are available on our website at www.prettyfabricsandtrims.co.uk
In this first video, Sarah is sharing some of her favourite tools and notions that she uses time and time again for hand embroidery.
Pretty Fabrics and Trims was founded by a mother (Penny) and daughter (Sarah) team with a love of pretty fabrics and sewing.
Sewing has always been an important part of our family life and whilst very often we have sewn through necessity, without a doubt, the sense of well being and calmness that can be felt when sewing is priceless. We were both lucky enough to grow up surrounded by piles of pretty fabrics and being taught timeless needlework skills by our mothers. Looking back at our recent generations, Great Nanny Halliday was a tailoress in the 1920's and her daughter Nanny Flo continued the tradition, passing on the skills to her daughter Penny .... not many weekends passed when Sarah was growing up, when you couldn't hear the tone of a sewing machine in the background, with Penny hard at work. It's no surprise that Sarah started sewing at an early age, making clothes and pretty quilts for her dolls as soon as she could thread a needle. Making quilts and hand sewing is Sarah's passion and she loves nothing better than spending her evenings and weekends with an English Paper Piecing, applique or a small hand stitched project on her lap. She is already teaching her children how to sew.....
