Relevant business registrations completed, customs form (ready where needed), Is dotted & Ts crossed. Fabric pictured arrived in Spain yesterday. More #internationaldeliveries going out this week. #africanwaxprint #fabricorders #dovetailedlondon #SewingBee #sew #memade #ankarawax

Cotton fabric shrinks by about 10% when washed, so remember to pre-wash your fabric so you can shrink it before sewing your gorgeous #memade and not after #sewing #SewingBee #garmentcare #fabriccare #africanwaxprint #sewingwithafricanwaxprintfabric #sew #dovetailed #toptip

There's a bit of friendly rivalry between these two, but which do you prefer to use? #sewing #SewingBee #sewingquiz #quiz
