Mam & Me Makes 🧵 1950’s vintage Vogue pattern. We used lime green boiled wool (not usually my colour but had to try it!) Mam used a floral viscose as lining with longer sleeves and piped sleeve extension as well as a covered button. I used a Cadbury purple satin lining with a green self covered button and kept the 3/4 sleeves. Best not go out together 😉 ❤️

South Shields Market is set for a boost, with a new operator coming on board to support and grow the Saturday market.

South Tyneside Council has appointed Local Heroes to run the weekly Saturday offer, bringing a renewed focus on quality traders, a vibrant atmosphere and an enhanced visitor experience.

The move builds on successful market models delivered elsewhere and forms part of wider plans to strengthen South Shields town centre, increase footfall and support local businesses.

Under the new arrangement, residents and visitors can expect a refreshed line-up of stalls, showcasing local producers, independent traders and a more diverse retail and food offer.

After doing the quilted jacket workshop with my Friday sewcial group, Ruth has made another 2 jackets from the same quilted bedspread! How gorgeous are these and all from 1 King Size bedspread. All using bias binding and she has even done French seams so totally reversible and added a zip to the gilet. Beautiful work Ruth ❤️👌
