I am! 😎 Also, if you have a mo, please do pop to my Instagram and watch today's stories... I'm running a poll on whether you'd rather see me release a fashion...

And I'll pop into your inbox with new tutorials on the blog tomorrow, so you have some great reading for the weekend. Have a fab day whatever you're up to - I'm hiding away...

Hey hey Reader! It's video tutorial day, and today I'm sharing the process I used to partially unpick a serged / overlocked waistband before reattaching. I made some Trigg shorts for my other half a few months back and the cotton fabric loosened up so much that they couldn't 'stay up' and I needed to go in and fix them. This is for anyone nervous of using / unpicking overlocking stitches - it's not as hard as you'd think - and although the final result wasn't perfect, it was good enough for...
