Missed the workshop at Step By Step? Another date has been added - Saturday 29th July. Contact 01769 574071 asap if you want a place.

My stand is just about set up ready for the show to open tomorrow - look to the right as you come in the main door.
Louise will be spinning mohair in the mornings. I am doing a talk in the afternoon and will be demonstrating free motion embroidery throughout the day.

See you there.

Sunday 5th Feb...Great to see and meet so many enthusiastic textile people. I am suffering post show tiredness so lots of coffee and choc biscuits while I try to find places for everything. Looking forward to using my turquoise glitter - maybe on some turquoise crimplene!!

Took photos of Miranda this week. Wet and rainy so this is the best one.

Have just signed in to Twitter - @JanTillett - so you can keep an eye on what I am doing (as long as I remember to update it regularly!)

Hello to everyone who visited my stand at The Creative Crafts Show, Esher.

Apologies that not everyone was able to have a go at the workshop - if you can, visit me at Shepton Mallet or Malvern where I will be running the workshop again. I recommend arriving very early so that you are first in the queue!

Hopefully everyone who has been playing with the shrink polyester is having fun. I can't wait to get my sewing machine out later this week to start work again.

Look out for the photos of the show later this week.

The car is packed and ready for travelling to Sandown tomorrow. Get there early if you want to make sure of a place on one of the workshops.

The new collection of handbags made from recycled jumpers is ready, plus some linen shopping bags and a hemp shoulder bag.

See you there!

I am busily making handbags from jumpers. See the new ones at The Creative Crafts Show, Sandown Park, Esher 19th - 21st January. This red one was sold last year at Killerton to a lovely Italian lady.



If you want to have a go at making your own 'Jumper to Handbag' I will be running a weekend workshop at The Orchard Learning Studios in Gunnislake on 12th and 13th May. Ideal for upcycling a loved but unworn jumper.
