Fabric Magpie — Events

Fabric Magpie is turning one and I would love it if you would join me to celebrate! In honour of the first anniversary I’m putting on a one day pop up shop in the heart of Manchester’s creative Northern Quarter. You will find me at the Foundation Coffee Shop on Lever Street, Manchester on Saturday 16th March.

It’s October and that means it’s almost time for Sew North West! This is the first sewing day hosted by Fabric Magpie for local sewists to get together and do what they love in good company. Today’s post is just to provide a bit of clarity and inspiration for the goodie bag swap for those who’ve asked. The first thing I want to say about this is there is absolutely no pressure for you to take part. You are more than welcome to attend the event without participating in the swap, this is just an added little bit of fun...

This time last week I was frantically prepping to head to the Sewing Weekender. A few months earlier I’d been equally hysterical at 7am when trying desperately to book a ticket for this event which notoriously sells out incredibly quickly. I felt a blog post about my experience would be a nice way for me to reflect and see if it lived up to the hype.
