I’ve bought all issues bar one of Tauko (sportswear wasn’t my bag) and can find at least two patterns I’d like to try from each edition. From Tauko No17, I like Sukaria and Dia and the piece on pin tucks by Raphaëlle Bonamy was extremely helpful so shall try this technique. I’m always delighted with the service from Beyond Measure and am very happy to order from this brilliant business in the North.

Menopause Makes
I love this book- and I’ve already made 2 projects. It’s a self care book- a feel good book and I love that Ethos. The instructions are well written too, so easy to follow. I’ve used fabric from my stash for the Boxy Pouch and the basket. I use them to keep my HRT and supplements in- sticking to the theme of menopause and self care . And I found a beautiful silk scarf on Vinted for £3 so I’ll use that for the eye mask, so that’s my next project. And I’m excited to make the cover up, I have some gorgeous fabric just waiting for it. Thank you to Kay and Jenny for writing a book I didn’t know I needed.

Update
Update: I didn’t realise that the cushion is loose so you can embroider on it, then you permanently attach both pieces. I must have missed those instructions, & I don’t have them anymore. I do like that I have a pin cushion close by so I can quickly & easily change out my embroidery needles. Thank you for letting me know that I can embroider the cushion then permanently fit it to the wooden piece.
