Hi everyone! I’m Ruth (@sewroo) and I’m very excited to be showing you my latest make via a guest blog for Sew Sew Sew. I have been sewing for almost 4 years now and it has (like most of us) become an obsession which shows no sign of waning!   The fabric When Katie asked if I would like to write a blog post for her I knew it would be a tough decision to narrow my fabric choice down to one as she stocks so many beautiful fabrics.  However, I already knew I wanted to make an Eloise dress...

Hi everyone! I’m Rachel (@creativipea). I’m super excited to be blogging for Sew Sew Sew again and to share my latest make with you.
