Behind the Scenes... Plans and Schemes for 2017

In two days time, it'll be the seven year anniversary of when I started this blog - or the "seven year stitch", if you will.

On the one hand, it seems like only yesterday that I opened up Blogspot and started typing, not really expecting anyone other than my mum to read my blog, and certainly never dreaming that a few years later it would be the launchpad of my own business.

On the other hand, it definitely feels like sooooo much hard work to get us where we are now! Seven years of consistently working to create blog posts - and later products - that I thought you'd enjoy. Hard work is worth it when it's something as lovely and rewarding as helping people make their own clothes :)

The last year has been another busy one for us, releasing five patterns, three online workshops, doing lots of events... and working hard on things to come! So what do we have up our homemade sleeves for 2017?

In the past year, our team have been busy sewing bees, launching new goodies, getting out and about to shows, and running workshops. If you're into reminiscing posts, here's a look back at what Tilly and the Buttons got up to in 2016...
