GOOD TIMES SKIRT: The fabulous Mrs Maven @mavenpatterns has introduced a new pattern for a fab slight A-line skirt - the Good Times skirt. Perfect in denim with so many nifty details we can hardly stand it. Dare we say it would be a wonderful skirt for summer? We do dare. •
Patterns for sale just up there ⬆️ - and dare we say that our gale-force start to summer here in Wellington makes it perfect sewing (and knitting) weather? We dare that too. #windywellington #shoplocal #sewityourself #makersgonnamake #sewistsofinstagram #sewing #denim #mavenpatterns #yesithaspockets #ofcourseithaspockets

THIS JUST IN: We have been unpacking lots of glorious things in recent days, including this shipment of beautiful stainless steel from the design-forward cookware makers at Crane. You know @crane_cookware for their cast iron - which we proudly stock - now get to know their 18/10 stainless steel. We’ve got the entire range - from saucepans to sauté pans to casseroles to a perfectly balanced frypan. •
We think these would make the perfect gift for a cook - or for *the* cook, perhaps *from* the cook. 🤣🙈 Any of these pieces will be faithful companions at the stove for many, many years. The shop link is just up there...⬆️

SHOP UPDATE: We’ve just had a great mail day with a wee restock of patterns from The Assembly Line, including the new-to-us Almost Long Trousers. We’ve been with Anki since she started and still have a handful of the original single size patterns in a few styles, too. These are on sale so if you’re quick you can still grab a bargain! #sewistsofinstagram #shopsmall #sewingpatterns #theassemblylineshop #talpatterns

COHANA JOY: We so loved seeing everybody at the Prefab market today, and we were blown away by the love you were showing our haberdashery, sewing patterns and of course our linen tea towels. •
We figured it was time to remind you about the tiny Cohana sewing treasures we’ve got in stock, including some of their popular winter specials (like winter white mini scissors and thread snips, and snowflake glass-headed pins), as well as sewing needles and mother-of-pearl pushpins. They'll make perfect gifts for any sewist dear to your heart - or for yourself, of course. 🙈 •
And many thanks to the crew @prefabeatery for including us in such a wonderful market with so many great Wellington small businesses. We’re so grateful for your hard work and to have such a great community space for all of us to play in. We started early and so did you, and you were still going strong when we were jetting off home to fall down in a pile. Thank you!! 🙌🙌 Happy holidays!

Hey, that’s us - and a bunch of other lovely retailers setting up @prefabeatery on Saturday. Hope to see you there!
#shoplocal #shopsmall

SHOP UPDATES AND A CHRISTMAS MARKET! We’ve been quiet here - concussion and accompanying limits on screen time will do that to you.
But we’re popping in to say a couple of things: We’ve got two new patterns from Merchant & Mills in the shop - the Whittaker pinafore (and have we mentioned our enduring love for pinafores here? Why yes, we probably have) and the Thelma boiler suit. In truth, we were uncertain about how people might respond to a boiler suit but we’ve had *inquiries* that suggest many of you would be quite keen. And it is way cool.
We’ve also updated our supplies of other M&M goods so do have a wander through the shop.

If you’re in Wellington this weekend, we’ll be at the Prefab Christmas Market on Saturday from 10am to 3pm. We had a blast there last year, and it’s a wonderful, festive affair with lots of cool vendors and, of course, the great breakfast, lunch and coffee from @prefabeatery. Come along and say g’day - we’ll have a wide range of good stuff on offer - from blankets by @lapuankankurit, patterns from @merchantandmills, @theassemblylineshop, @mavenpatterns and @frankieandray, along with a wee selection of yarn (get in touch if there’s something you’re especially keen on and we’ll pack it up), a great selection of @cohana_style haberdashery treasures, cookware from @crane_cookware and @falkculinair, cutlery from @davidmelloruk, glasses from @toyo_sasaki_glass and more. Hope to see you there!

AND, WE’RE BACK! The shop is back online after a wonderful weekend at Knit August Nights in Napier. Lots and lots of thanks to Maree who’s organised this wondrous event for ten years running. We had a great time meeting new friends and catching up with others, and hanging out with our fellow traders who fill us with such good heart and good humour and inspiration. •
We so enjoyed watching the style and colour and all around awesomeness that paraded past our trading table over the three days. And we can’t wait to see what you come up with from the ideas you shared with us - so please do share your makes here or on Ravelry, or just pop us an email. We really enjoy seeing all those finished objects!
•
We’ve still got some photos to load of our the new yarn ranges that were on the stand last weekend - including Brusca and Vovó from @retrosariarosapomar, and the @itoyarn Sensai and Shimo. Those are coming soon. For those of you after Mungo (and there are a lot of you thanks to some awesome patterns just out from @jojilocat and @kiyomibee,
we’re sorry to report it may be a while before we can completely re-fill our shelves of all of the Mungo colours we usually stock. But we’ll get it as soon as we can - if you’d like to add your name to a waiting list, please get in touch. Meantime, we’ve got plenty of brown, yellow and light grey should those take your fancy. (They’ll all work well with the Aveiro striped V-neck released last year by @tete_beche…just sayin’.) •
And now it’s time for a cup of tea and a wee rest! •
#knitaugustnights2019

PACKING FOR KAN: We’ll be at @knitaugustnights next weekend and we’re pondering what to bring. We’ve got lots of @tukuwool, @bichesetbuches, @garthenor, @myak_us, @rosapomar...and also our latest additions @jadesapphirecashmere, @owool and @itoyarn, plus some sewing patterns from @merchantandmills, @theassemblylineshop, @mavenpatterns and @frankieandray. We can’t bring the whole shop, though - so is there anything you’re hanging out to see in Napier? Let us know in the comments. We are looking forward to seeing you and talking yarn and patterns and squish factors! (We won’t be bringing the carving forks though!) •

EVERYBODY OUT OF THE POOL: We had to do some rearranging to make sure we had room for all of the new dreamy greens and blues and bluey-greens and greeny-blues from @bichesetbuches. The shop’s been refreshed just up there ⬆️, and we’ll also have them alongside at @fibrefest with lots of other pretties next Saturday! •
#knittersofinstagram #makersgonnamake #yarn #wool #capitalfibrefest

SHOP FLOOR: Order fulfilment might sound kinda drab - but around here it means you get to ponder this kind of loveliness, and wonder what it might become. #shoplocal #shopkeeperslife #knittersofinstagram #bichesetbuches #handmade

TAKING THE CAKE: This is amazing banana cake & icing courtesy @helen_goh_bakes. Someone is very happy, especially with the cake / icing ratio. Thank you! 😂😂 #bananacake #cakeisalwaysagoodidea

SHOP UPDATES: We’ve been having a big time updating our virtual shelves, first with more sewing patterns and now with a restock of hot water bottles, tea towels and blankets from the talented weavers at Lapuan Kankurit (@lapuankankurit) in Finland. Great designs from inspirational designers marry with the highest quality fabrics to produce heirloom-quality blankets and tea towels that will brighten your kitchen for years. Go on, have a nosey up in the shop just up there.

OH, JOY! It’s always a great day when Merchant & Mills releases a new pattern. Today we’re proud to bring you TWO new additions to the collection - the Eve Trousers, with their cunning side zip and slight tapered leg, and the Box Box, a versatile dress and top with a charming pleat detail at the front. We can’t wait to dive in. (The fab top in photo 2 is the new Florence top, a PDF only pattern recently released, too! Have a look on the M&M website for that beauty.)
