What's been happening this week in the world of sewing? I know how busy I get trying to fit everything in each week and I use my time at the weekend to catch up on what's been happening all-things-sewing-wise. This got me thinking that a quick summary of what's going on would be really useful to read with your brunch over the weekend. Save all that searching and scrolling through blog posts, cherry pick what you want to read in the time you have!

Tilly at Tilly and the Buttons posts five tips for cutting and sewing slippery fabric. Fiona at Diary of a Chainstitcher has a giveaway from new online fabric store Fabrics For Sale. The Coletterie announces the Aster sew-along. Handmade Jane posts Vintage Pattern Pledge rethink.
