Summer Sewing
Welcome to Lizzyshomemade and to the glorious month of June. I love the month of June, sunny days but not too hot or humid of those in July and August. I’ve been busy in the garden, tending to growing veggies and planting out tomatoes and cucumbers. The chickens are laying lots of lovely eggs nowContinue reading “Summer Sewing”
Sew homemade!
Welcome to March! This time of year in the sewing room is usually quiet, after the rush of Christmas and New Year. So this gives me a chance to catch up on orders and plan new designs and research growing trends in the fabric world! This week’s new make is the ever faithful Provence RoseContinue reading “Sew homemade!”

It features ladies dressed in 1950’s style dresses carryingContinue reading “A very handmade retro Christmas”

Over time I have amassed lots of fabric scraps and I have been trying to think of different ways to use the material. My first excursion into textile pictures has been with a Frida Kahlo fabric. I love this fabricContinue reading “Fabric Art!”
Back to school
Well, Autumn has arrived, the nights are getting darker and the children are back to school. One of the things I loved about going back to school was buying new stationery. I used to love choosing a new pencil case at the start of every year plus matching pens and pencils. New pristine stationery wasContinue reading “Back to school”
Patchwork & Llamas
Over the last few weeks I have been updating my collection of make up/cosmetic bags that I sell on Etsy. I found some fun and quirky fabrics that I thought would look great and stand out in the crowd. I have a collection of make up bags featuring Cath Kidston, Frida Kahlo and Liberty ofContinue reading “Patchwork & Llamas”
Cats & Fabric
I have always loved cats. I grew up in a house with lots of cat “things” in it, although no cat! ( I had bad asthma as a child). Pictures of cats, cat ornaments, cushions, you name it. Whenever we would see a cat in the road, it would shy away from so much unwantedContinue reading “Cats & Fabric”
