Made @Rummanco brown stew tofu dish for dinner today. Delicious. Served with brown rice and steamed green veg. Defo making again. #vegan #Caribbean #tofu

Have volunteered to sew scrubs for the NHS. I may never know the recipients, but if did meet them, I would tell them they were made with love and I am eternally grateful #NHS #Scrubs #sewing #fortheloveofscrubs #southlondonscrubers

Belated thank you to @Fashion_Antidot and our tutor Maureen for the t-shirt making course. It was fab with great tips for not only sewing jersey but also using an overlocker. Such a quick & easy make. Have made quite a few since attending which I have taken on business trips.

Love this. @TheDadGang and @ChicoDSolo1 - I salute you.

Just finished my first jersey make using @McCallPatternUK pattern M6963 and cotton jersey fabric from @girlcharleeuk. I think it turned out quite nice and I've overcome my fear of jersey 😁

Just delivered some handmade makes for my niece expecting her 2nd baby: #nappybag (pattern by @mycraftcupboard using fabric by @DashwoodStudios). #Changemat (pattern by @MadeByMarzipan). #Burbcloth (pattern by @AtSoSewEasy) and bibs by @ithinksew. Lovely easy makes.

@PPatchwork Love it. Like you I have abandoned commercial patterns and learning to draft my own. Not as skilled as you but loving the learning journey.

Our edible garden is coming on nicely. Today picked a lovely selection of lettuce and some sugar snap peas. Looking forward to a lovely crop of tomatoes, beetroot, carrots and more. #growyourown #ediblegarden #vegetables

My 3rd and final make from 2 old pair of jeans. Limited material to work with, so drew inspiration from the quilting world to create the checkerboard effect from strips. The lining is from one of my husband's old shirts. #upcycling #bagmaking #denim #handmade #sewing

2nd make from old pair of jeans. Lining from one of husband's old shirts. Pattern is Alanis clutch by @ithinksew. Still have fabric left. What next? #bagmaking #upcycling #recycling #denim #memade

[StripyMango @StripyMango]

Challenging myself to make new items out of old jeans. My first make is a tote bag made using @mycraftcupboard Uptown Tote Bag pattern. Next fancy making a classy clutch bag. It's all about the bag #recycling #bagmaking #sewing #denim

Made this little fella for a colleague expecting her first baby. It's @SimpMcCalls 8044. She loved it. Is it wrong to love it too? #teddybear #giftforbaby #sewing

[StripyMango @StripyMango]

Really enjoying #ainsleyscaribbeankitchen. One question though. Why doesn't it include the national dish for each island visited? https://t.co/rLWc2F82SV via @itvhub

@CoughlanFrank Just checked. Says baked beans and hash browns are suitable for vegetarians not vegans. So only tomatoes and toast for breakfast!

[StripyMango @StripyMango]

@British_Airways any plans to do more to cater for those eating #plantbased and #vegan diets in your lounges? Porridge is made with milk and pretty much all hot food has cheese, eggs or butter. Essentially only option appears to be fruit salad.

[StripyMango @StripyMango]

@CoughlanFrank Thanks. I think #vegan and #plantbased diets are well catered for at lunch. I think breakfast is not as good but good to know porridge can be made with water or soya milk on request.
