I just LOVE tassels!

V V Rouleaux re-cycle everything and don’t throw a scrap away. Instead they make unique pieces from the short ends of their ribbons and trims just like the gorgeous models below. They are available for sale at V V Rouleaux.

So many trims – which one will Jacqueline choose for her next sewing project?

Hi Everyone,

Our next stop on our London 2012 Sewing Tour was ‘The Button Queen’ and yes as you guessed it a shop full of buttons!

Martyn Frith from The Button Queen welcomed us into his quaint button shop and shared some fabulous tips and showed us beautiful antique buttons!

The Button Queen is now run by Martyn and Isabel Frith, however the business was founded by Martyn’s mother, Toni, who was an antique dealer in the 1950′s! The Button Queen is the only shop in London that specialises in both modern and antique buttons.

Watch the video below where Martyn shows us some beautiful rose antique buttons and gives a great tip on getting the most out of antique or extra special buttons when sewing.

Martyn tells us about the history of The Button Queen and it came to be!

Learn all about the large variety of customers who shop at The Button Queen in the video below.

Martyn offers a fantastic service to not only local people in London but also all over the world. Watch the video below to discover how he might be able to help you!

Recommended Fabric Marking Pen

Saturday, June 23rd, 2012

Hi Everyone,

When sewing we need to mark our fabrics to help us put all the peices together. We have notches, darts, button placement, right and wrong sides of the fabric just to name a few!

There are many sewing products available from the good old tailors chalk to fancy fabric marking pens. Here I have found a great sewing tool with this fabric marking pen.

Watch my video below to see my demonstration of my recommended fabric marking pen!

Please leave me a comment below, I would love to hear what you have to say about this sewing tip
