Lisa, that is such a brave and wise move. I would find it so difficult to pass on a business that I had built but I completely understand why you need to keep your spark alive. What a fabulous new business venture. Obviously sewing in another form!

As much as I'm pleased for Lisa and Rosie respectively, I am sad that there will not be any more Lisa sew alongs which I have so enjoyed and learnt and laughed so much throughout! Good luck ladies!

[@SewOverIt]

Lisa will still be joining for sewalongs! It's just too busy on the flower farm for her to do them in the Summer, she'll be back chatting and sewing in the Autumn 😊 Rosie x

[@allisonjenkins5079]

@SewOverIt Many thanks Rosie for the reply. It is nice that Sew Over It has been taken over by somebody as passionate about the business as Lisa was. Wishing you much luck.

[@abibramdaw9400]

Congratulations Rosie ❤

[@SewOverIt]

Thanks so much! 😊 Rosie x

[@frosties131]

Lisa - I will miss you. You inspire me to make a Betty Dress collection. If I came across your sewalong videos during lockdowns, I would have a very different 2020 and 2021 (we had 6 lockdowns down here in Melbourne!). Rosie - Congrats to your new role and I look forward to the new patterns and everything else under your leadership. Thank you everyone at Sew Over it team, you all keep my sewing journey fun and exciting!

[@SewOverIt]

Thanks so much Janey! Two exciting new adventures ahead 😊 Rosie x

[@angelawilliams8322]

I’ve also noticed Lisa’s absence….and I picked up from somewhere that she had started a flower business. That said, I can’t thank Rosie and the team enough for the fabulous job they have been doing. I love the chats and the Sewing Bee reviews and I’ve purchased quite a few of this year’s patterns which I couldn’t resist and have really enjoyed. Free patterns and stitch school too….so much to be thankful for. Congratulations. I’m going to be following with interest and enthusiasm.🎉❤

[@SewOverIt]

Thanks so much Angela! I'm really happy to hear that you've been enjoying what the team and I have been doing - there's lots more to come, and we won't let Lisa stray too far either 😊 Rosie x

[@abinorman3559]

Wow, that’s amazing news Rosie…massive congratulations to you 🎉 and lots of luck with the business…you’re all doing a fab job 👏🏼👏🏼

[@SewOverIt]

Thanks Abi! Exciting times ahead 😊 Rosie x

[@lindafields4632]

Yes I’ve been waiting for this announcement. Good luck to Rosie, they’re big boots to fill 😮

[@SewOverIt]

Thanks Linda, it's a new adventure but I'm ready for it 😊 Rosie x

[@loriannpayne4483]

I wish you every success as I do Lisa too! Much love from Oregon.

[@SewOverIt]

Thanks so much Loriann! Really appreciate your kind wishes 😊 Rosie x

[@janettyson2628]

I'm watching this in December 2023 as have only just really found SOI (I love the idea of the Big Sew and Give Your Best) Congratulations to both Rosie and Lisa on your 'new' businesses. I've also just watched a couple more of your Vlogs (they're infectious!) including the opening your Secret Santa presents! I will keep up to date with these from now on :)

[@thegreenpincushion510]

Congratulations and many well wishes for you both on your new journeys!

[@SewOverIt]

Thank you! It's an exciting time for both of us! 😊 Rosie x

[@squeezylemon1]

Good luck continuing wit SOI Rosie! And Lisa.... a tip for your nails.... before you go out gardening, soften a bar of soap under warm running water and then scrape your nails down it, trying to fill any nail tips that you have with soap. Then when you have finished gardening you can use a nail brush to scrub away the soap from your nails, there will have been no soil able to get under your nails while you have been working! It really works, I was given this tip years ago and try hard to do it every time I'm out in the garden!!

[@SewOverIt]

Thank you! I've passed the tip on to Lisa, hopefully she'll be closer to her SOI fancy nails soon! 😊 Rosie x

[@user-sl4nn8wr7n]

Congrats to you both. As an allotment holder for 9 yrs I would definitely recommend the nail brush from Labour & Wait. It really works!!!

[@SewOverIt]

Thank you! 😊 Rosie x

[@catherinecasey1009]

Congratulations to you both . ❤

[@SewOverIt]

Thank you Catherine! 😊 Rosie x

[@ann-mariesews5172]

Congratulations to both of you. I have been missing you on the vlogs Lisa but the team vlogs have been great. Off to look at Jazzy Rose now

[@SewOverIt]

Thanks Ann-Marie! I'm glad you've been enjoying the team vlogs, we're enjoying making them! And I'm sure we'll be able to coerce Lisa into joining every once in a while 😊 Rosie x

[@olive5890]

Thank you for introducing me to Give your best, already listed several brand items I dont wear 🎉😍

[@SewOverIt]

They're such a great company, so glad to hear you're listing things already - that's amazing! 😊 Rosie x

[@ritaadler-everett5392]

Hi. I live in the US and I only just found Sew Over It. I'm sorry to see you passing on the baton, Lisa, but totally understand the need to explore other interests. I look forward to supporting the company under Rosies capable leadership! The Sew-a-thon sounds like a dream for a very worthy cause. Somehow, even from so far away, I have found G&G, SMS, TATB, and Sew Essential and am a bit jealous that this event is so far away!

[@SewOverIt]

Welcome to the SOI gang, Rita! We're really happy to have you here, and hope that you enjoy everything that's coming up 😊 Rosie x

[@annasellborn2590]

Best of luck to both of you, although it's already going really well! ❤❤❤

[@SewOverIt]

Thank you Anna! 😊 Rosie x

[@lollyorigami]

Yay Rosie!! 🎉

[@SewOverIt]

Thanks Lauren! 😊 Rosie x

[@SZ-os1hp]

I was at NCH when the SOI pair turned up for their recon! 🎉

[@lizzielh]

water resistant ripstock fabric is great for lining washbags

[@chantelb2527]

I knew this was going to happen as soon as the flower business started.😥

[@cathie1022]

Congratulations Rosie! Kinda sad though as it seems like the end of an era!

[@SewOverIt]

Thanks Cathie! It does feel a bit like the end of an era doesn't it, but hopefully with another exciting chapter coming next - for both myself and Lisa 😊 Rosie x

[@texasproud8822]

I love the neckline on Lisa’s top. What pattern is it? Thanks

[@janspenno2241]

I don’t do this enough but put soap under your nails before you put hands in soil

[@chantelb2527]

scrape your fingers nails on a bar of soap before you start gardening etc.

[@jenniferkelley8294]

Congratulations Rosie🎉
