FIRSTLY … MEGAN’S HAD HER BABY!! Both are healthy and happy and we can’t wait to introduce you all to the newest Brew!
This week’s guests are Harriet from Sew Me Sunshine and Lucy from Sew Essential.
Both online shops stock a vast array of fabrics, patterns and haberdashery items to fuel every sewists habit! Sew Essential also have sewing machines and gadgets galore so we have lots to talk about!
We hear about the brilliant sewing stories of these ladies and how they have successfully embedded their business into the sewing community.
Both have many tricks up their sleeves and it was wonderful to delve into their worlds – even to hear about how they met their husbands and how they are both so inspired by the fashion catwalks!
We could have talked to these wonderful women all day so we are happy to share with you this brilliant, inspirational episode that should encourage anyone that its never too late to completely change your career path!
