Cowslip Workshops, located in Launceston Cornwall, is a dream destination for those of us who love fabric, sewing and sewing machines!! It's also a fabulous place to stop off for lunch, indulge in tea and cake and take in the wonderful views from the farm.
To celebrate the launch of the new 2016 series of the Great British Sewing Bee on Thursday 5th May, we have developed a lovely new pattern for a linen bistro apron, which is FREE to download on our website.
It's that time of year again, and when I asked my Mum what she would you like for Mother's Day, this was her reply! "Oh yes, one of your make up bags please.....mine's worn out". "Does it have to be one of my things?", I replied "....pick something else!"
