Behind the Scenes at The Knitting and Stitching Show

What a wonderful time we had at our first in-person sewing show since 2020! 

During the first week of October 2022, we had a stand displaying our sewing patterns and books at The Knitting and Stitching Show at the beautiful Alexandra Palace in London.

Fancy a walk around our colourful stand? Of course you do...

After a couple of eventless years, to go out and interact with our lovely customers again was so much fun. We got to meet lots of crafty folks (old and new) and chat about all things sewing, swoon over your handmade outfits and see which TATB sewing pattern you're adding to your collection next!

It was the first time we've been able to display our growing collection of printed size UK 6-34 sewing patterns featuring our gorgeous double-model covers! We even debuted our latest addition to the collection, the Stevie tunic sewing pattern before it hit our online shop.

With the expansion of our size band, we needed a new dressmakers dummy to display our beautiful samples! Adjustoform kindly supplied us with their 'Lady Valet' mannequin to fit our larger size band garments. For the show, we displayed our colour-blocked Billie sweater dress and our vibrant turquoise Lyra shirt dress which had lots of shoppers swooning!

Our latest sewing pattern, the Marnie blouse and mini dress, was a clear fan favourite at the show which was so exciting to see as Team Buttons have been Marnie addicts for months. Not far behind was our Lyra shirt dress sewing pattern which we spotted lots of sewists wearing at the show!

Thank you to everyone who paid our stand a visit at The Knitting and Stitching Show, and shout-out to our amazing Office Manager Kate for bringing it all together. We hope to see you at another show soon!
