How has June flown by so quickly? Is it the longer days, or the heatwaves, or the energy of launching new products and getting ready for our next that has made it feel so swift - though, it could also be my excitement for Glastonbury...
What's really shone this month is your creativity in fabric curation. Whether that's using repurposed bedsheets, charity-shop gems and deadstock, or even refashioning your husband's old jeans, your use of fabrics has not only inspired me but is a firmly reminder of how sustainable sewing is, especially when you are making garments that you will wear for years to come.
It's so exciting to see your Day Totes so soon after launching - if you've made one, make sure to use #msdaytote!

Last weekend, I went to a wedding in France and was so excited to wear my two piece Cara Top and Spring Trousers in silk that I dyed yellow myself back in 2022. The sun was searing, so I was very happy to be in this breathable co-ord.
