I’ve finished cutting my secret project using @sarahashfordstudio new fabric collection Great British Quilter Back to Basics for @dashwoodstudio. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How awesome is this black and white binding going to look!!!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sarahashfordstudio #greatbritishquilter #gbqbacktobasics #dashwoodstudio #modernquilter #modernquilting #secretsewing #fabriclove #quiltingfabric #wip #quiltingproject #sewingproject #somanyprojects #quiltdesigner #quiltdesign #quiltpattern #sewingpattern #quiltingcommunity

One more week until school breaks up for summer! I very much run my business part-time; well sort of...I've never added up the actual hours in a week I put into Coffee Rings Studio stuff and it probably is closer to full time in reality. My point is that I work around being a stay at home mum too, in fact only very recently have I started answering the question "what do you do?" with "I run my own business designing sewing patterns" rather than "I'm *just* a stay at home mum".⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm looking forward to the summer and having the flexibility with work to spend the six weeks with my boy. He's doing some summer camp stuff so I'll be cramming work in then and probably the evenings too but I thought I'd start to get organised this week so I have a plan of what I'm doing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm really trying to up my blog and Pinterest games at the moment (Do you follow my blog and Pinterest? If not, please do!) so that's what I'm mostly planning for summer work.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What would you like to see over on my blog?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ontheblog #blog #sewingblog #sewingblogger #quiltblogger #sewingproject #quiltingproject #sewingtutorial #quiltingtutorial #createmore #summersewing #wip #somanyprojects #modernquilting #modernsewing #makemodern

Have you got the latest issue of @quiltnow? It has a fabulous selection of projects including my Summer Braids quilt. I used a mix of 14 different yellow prints (all from @sewhotuk who have any amazing range of fabrics) with @konacotton Snow and then quilted with @aurifilthread. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Issue 65 also comes with a handy bobbin holder box, which you can store up to 20 bobbins inside! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photo courtesy of @quiltnow • #quiltnow #quiltdesigner #quiltdesign #quiltpattern #sewingpattern #halfsquaretriangles #fabriclove #quiltingfabric #fabricstash #machinequilting #walkingfootquilting #quiltingtips #iquilt #isew #quiltersofinstagram #quilter #modernquilting #modernquilt #modernquilter #modernsewing #makemodern #quilteasy #konacotton #aurifil #aurifilthread

It’s been one year since I released my first ever pattern...Kaleidoscope Pattern Match! And what a year it’s been. So hands up who has my Kaleidoscope Pattern Match pattern? Share any examples with #kaleidoscopepatternmatch And if you don’t have it (yet 😉) then use my summer offer SUMMERSEWING20! • #kaleidoscopepatternmatch #coffeeringsstudio #isew #epp #englishpaperpiecing #handsewing #handsewn #eppdesigner #fussycutting #patternmatching #sewersofinstagram #fabric #fabriclove #fabricaddict #quiltingfabric #fabricstash #modernquilting #modernquilter #modernsewing #makemodern

Sewing over the summer can be fantastic; lighter evenings, the possibility to hand sew outside (or even machine sewing if you’ve got a long enough extension cable 😂) and seeing your beautiful creations being used out in the sunshine all make me want to start new projects. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But it’s not without its downsides too; I’ve never thought beautiful fabric and sun cream are a very good combination and there’s often so much to do over the summer (whether it’s holidays, days out or just sorting out the children while there’s no school). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So take the chance to either grab a new pattern and get it started now or save it until September. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve got 20% off all my patterns until the end of July. Just use the code SUMMERSEWING20 to get your discount!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #summersewing #wip #quiltingproject #sewingproject #somanyprojects #iquilt #quiltersofinstagram #isew #epp #englishpaperpiecing #eppdesigner #sewersofinstagram #quiltdesigner #quiltdesign #quiltpattern #sewingpattern #coffeeringsstudio

Did you see my latest blog post? A quick tutorial for adding a coordinating stripe to envelope back cushions. A great way to; - use up those awkward long scraps of fabric - match your cushion front and back - give a bit more love and jazz up those sad and forgotten cushion backs ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Check it out and let me know if you try it yourself! • #sewingblog #sewingblogger #handmadecushions #sewingtutorial #wip #sewingproject #somanyprojects #isew #lovesewing #sewingcommunity #sewhappy #sewersofinstagram #coffeeringsstudio
