Alexandra Palace - The Knitting and Stitching Show 2013

Alexandra Palace
The Knitting and Stitching Show




This weekend just gone there was a fantastic event at Alexandra Palace called the knitting and stitching show and I was lucky enough to be asked to go and help out a friend at her stall.

Caroline Cottle is the owner of the fab little business Sew La Di Da who I first discovered from having workshops with her in Lyme Regis. She makes sewing seem so fun and easy so I'd recommend her workshops and classes to anyone of any age!


Recently she has designed vintage style patterns that fit the high street sizes as she rightly points out that commercial patterns haven't been updated since 1972. So this idea is great to get real modern women interested in sewing with patterns that need little or no alteration.

The stall she had at Alexandra Palace was a big success where she sold her current 4 pattern designs in beautiful little gift bags with clear, easy to understand instructions. She is hoping to go global very soon so it is all very exciting and I am so proud of her and her business!
