Come on a crafty day out in London with me | Fabric shopping, sewing, and an exciting knitting event

[@van_vinos66]

My Mum and Godmother were buyers for Liberty when I was little (way back in the 70's) and I used to spend nearly every Saturday afternoon in the store. I still get goosebumps when I walk through the front doors to this day.

Oh wow! I’m so jealous haha. Amazing memories I’m sure xx

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Thanks so much for watching xx

[@RachelBearn]

That liberty fabric 😍 so pretty! Thank you for the shoutout ❤❤ was so lovely to meet in person. And I loved hearing which of the patterns were your faves ❤️🧶

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Ah and you too it was a lovely day xx

[@elisekolic6649]

Sounds like THE perfect day out Sally! Hopefully I will get to London to visit the liberty store one day…looks divine. Would love to hear the exercises you learnt, I suffer from sewing pains myself. 😂

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

It was so lovely! Have a look at Sophie’s instagram page, I’ve linked it there might be something helpful there 😊

[@maureencandlish8292]

Thanks for sharing your lovely day with us Sally. How lucky are you. Love Moda yarns and patterns I think they have something for everyone. Also spotted Lizzie from Hive knits and Laura from Laura Penrose who I also follow. I knit almost every day so am looking forward to Moda’s new look book. You did a great job of sharing your fun day out. Happy belated birthday to your husband too!

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Yes it was lovely to meet Lizzie and Laura everyone was so friendly! Thank you for watching xx

I thoroughly enjoyed this vlog Sally. It was really interesting. I'm keen to see Rowan's new patterns when they launch as I'm not a good knitter but some of those patterns you showed inspired me and maybe I could manage them. Also I can't wait for the launch Craft Psychology book - so thanks for letting us know about it. And as for Liberty, what can I say! So glad you had a good day x

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Thank you so much for watching I’m glad you enjoyed it. I was really impressed with the range of patterns and if you are a beginner their patterns are often knit flat which I think is easier when you’re learning (although some may disagree) 😊 I will be sure to keep you updated on it all xx

[@marygreen7225]

Fabulous video Sally. Thank you. Great selection of yarns.

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it xx

[@jangreen3697]

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Thank you for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it xx

[@AngelaEvers-tj1dg]

Just my type of day. I really enjoyed seeing all the places that you visited. I love Liberty and love Covent Garden. I also love your cardigan whenever I see it. I can’t knit!! What a super trip Sally and you made the video so interesting. Thank you so much for sharing it with us 💕

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

[@sew_So_beautiful]

I'm so jealous. What a lovely experience!

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

It was so lovely, I felt very lucky to be invited x

[@judithmurdoch2549]

Love the cardigan you had on in London. I’m with you on loving Liberty. Last time I visited the store with one of my daughters, we were in there. 4 hours.

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

I can easily see how that could happen 😂 xx

[@robinlandtroop2774]

Thank you for sharing your trip and especially the yarn event. My older sister has suffered from depression her entire life. She is also an avid crafter. I have forwarded to her the info about the author and the psychology between/of(?) crafting and mental health. As always I really enjoy your videos. Thank you.

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

I’m sorry to hear that. I really hope the book might help x

[@janeybeasley9525]

Lovely day out, and how exciting to be invited to that event! ❤

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

It was so lovely to be invited! Thank you for watching xx

[@J-UK62]

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it x

[@sallyvaughan1231]

Wow, the woman Ann who gave the talk, I want that top, or the fabric!

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Yes it was lovely wasn’t it xx

[@Angie29449]

This is so motivating, and fun to watch!

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

I’m so glad you thought so x

[@susankidd9963]

What a lovely video Sally .x

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Thanks so much for watching xx

[@ninad9626]

Thank you so much for sharing these bits with us! I hardly ever go to London so it's really fun to see crafty places I haven't been, Liberty is on my list now 😁

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Thank you for watching it was lovely to get into London again I haven’t been for a while x

[@rhondaa18]

What a wonderful day out! It’s refreshing and inspiring to see and explore new things about your craft. You continue to inspire me. The Liberty fabric is beautiful, and I look forward to seeing what you make of it. I’m curious, what did your husband do while you were in the Rowan event? I so appreciate when our husbands support us in something important to us.

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Thanks so much I'm glad you enjoyed coming along! Well, he was going to walk around the zoo but then ended up working in the car! It was nice to go together rather than have to get the trains alone :) x

[@jennetthamilton971]

Thank you for sharing your day out. I wondered if you felt a bit overwhelmed being around strangers at the event as you are an introvert. I know that is often how I feel. Oh Liberty! Such lovely fabrics, but so pricey, not in my budget at all. The same goes for alpaca yarn unfortunately. The patterns from Rowan are beautiful as are all the yarns. Could you please share some of the hand yoga? Last week while sewing I had a painful cramp in my right hand. I really had to stretch my hand out to relieve the cramp.

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

I was very nervous about going and always feel really tired out after events like these but I also think they are good for me 😊 Yes I understand about budget I’m not sure I could justify 3-4 metres for a Liberty dress 😆

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

I will see if I can share the yoga somehow too x

[@juliadroy1179]

Liberty is my mecca, Such a lovely day out xx

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

It’s amazing isn’t it x

[@bernicekimber6144]

Hello Sally from New Zealand - love your video :) was just wondering if you know the name of the beautiful Liberty fabric that you bought ? Take care, Bernice :)

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Thank you for watching! I’m so sorry I don’t actually know what it was called have you looked in the website? C

[@talitasmit9337]

❤

[@sueb4919]

Such a wonderful day you had. I’m really interested in that book. Also wondering - what did your husband do while you were at Rowsn - or did he go too?

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Thank you! He was going to have a walk around the zoo but ended up having to sit in the car and do some work haha x

[@sueb4919]

And on his birthday!?😮

[@Kateskismet]

Loved watching this vlog thank you Sally. I must admit last time I went to Liberty's I enjoyed trying to spot the most expensive fabric 👀 Loved what you chose. Those yarns look lush. What a lovely event to be a part of. I really want to learn to knit. Does anyone know of any good youtube resource (like Bella Coco is for crochet)?

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Haha that sounds like a good game! Very Pink Knits has an amazing KZbin channel for knitting tutorials, have a look at that one x

[@Kateskismet]

@@SecretLifeOfASeamstress Thank you 😊

[@india1422]

I have a beautiful pair of Liberty fabric shears

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

How lovely 🥰
