There's a big risk that you'll have a fabulous day, relaxing and doing something you love!! But also a risk that you'll meet other people with shared interests, laugh a lot, have plenty of food and drink, and maybe some bubbles too! Today was the first of the social sewing days I'm organising in Doncaster. I loved every minute of it. Thank you to everyone who came and made it such a great day. I'm already excited about the one in May!!!
