W H E R E are all the weavers at? 💕 This just goes to show that you don’t need a big table-top loom or a closet full of yarn to get a taste of the weaving trend.

M A N A G E D to get crafty yesterday during nap time, and made a new sign for my table when I do markets, using my @officialcricut machine to cut out freezer paper stencils, which you can iron onto fabric and paint. Check my stories for more... Anyways, pretty pleased with it! 💕

N E W blog post up this morning, as you know if you saw my stories, showing you how to use the new @theloome pom-pom trim guide, which we now stock! This little tool will change your pom-pom game. Now, back to my pom-pom coffee date with my toddler... ☕️💕

W E A R the rainbow! 🌈 Our friendship bracelet parties are quickly becoming our most popular party project! Make stretchy ones for kids ages 8+ or learn how to use tiger wire and clasps for ages 10+. And learn how to make tassels for a little added boho chic. If you’re looking for an alternative birthday party activity for your child (or even for adults!) DM me, I run workshops across London. ✂️🎂

T H E figures are pretty astonishing about how many clothes get thrown away, and typically end up in landfills. There’s lots to learn from @mindful_mending, including how to turn your old tshirts into jersey yarn! And if anyone knows any tutorials for visible mending, send them my way! My son has a few pairs of jeans that need some knee patches! 👖✂️

T H E S E mini sewing kits are always the most popular and are great when you need a small project to keep the kids busy under the shade of a tree when it’s ☀️ or busy indoors when it’s ☔️.

H E A T W A V E! It has been so lovely the last couple days in London, I have not felt guilty at all about keeping the laptop closed and spending the days outside picnicking at playgrounds and enjoying the sun while it lasts with my two little ones. Because it won’t last (we all know that) and my Loome tool will be waiting for me on a rainy day... ☔️

F I N A L L Y a plant you can’t kill! 🌵🌸 These cactus plant pals are one of our kids party sewing projects... and are the cuddliest non-spikey cactus friends around!

P U T a tassel on it! I wear these earring more than any other pair I own! Not just because I made them, but the definitely spruce up my usual “mum” outfit of jeans and tshirt when I’m running to Sainsbury’s or going to the playground with two kids in tow. 👖 Want to learn how to make them yourself? Get a group of friends together anywhere in London and I’ll come a teach you! ✂️ Full details on my Adult Crafty Parties page at TheSewcialCircle.com.

F E S T I V A L season is coming, can you feel it? ☀️🌸 Stand out in the crowd in one of our vibrant pom-pom crowns! Lots of colour ways to choose from, but I love this one with a pop of neon pink. Ready to rock and roll at your favourite places to jam this summer. Will it be @glastofest, @bestival or @endoftheroad? 🤟🏻💕
