Hello and welcome! I'm Claire, owner and founder of Made Just Sew but also a wife and mum of two girls, living in the beautiful historical town of Stratford Upon Avon with our beloved dog Dillon. Come and follow me on my journey of building a business while raising a family and all that goes on in between xxx

P.S. I may sometimes recommend products, and if you click on those links, I may earn a small commission. This is just one of the ways in which I am able to support myself and continue to create and build my brand. You can learn more here.

Does anyone else have loads to show but nothing to say? .
I feel like I’m just on auto pilot at the moment: school run, dog walk, work, school pick up, tea, bath, bed : REPEAT!! .
I WILL be announcing last Xmas orders in the next wk or so, so give me a shout if you were planning any orders 😘 .
But in the mean time just enjoy this beautiful colourful boy bear that went home the other wk 😍 🐻 .

Is it me - or did summer just stop? I am fully immersed into the jumper season now 😂
.
Anyhow we are on the verge of booking one last camping trip this wknd and I’m taking ALL the quilts with me 🥶🏕 .

Felt the need to share this tonight. We’ve just come out of the other side of 4 days of adjusting back to the routine. While my youngest has sailed back into nursery like no time had past, my eldest hasn’t had such an easy adjustment. .

Starting year 2 (so it’s not totally new new) she’s wobbled and sobbed and clung to me like life was ending. Watching your child be physically scared of the day they face and having to let go of their hand and hoping that the stranger now looking out for them will see it and know what to do is one of the toughest jobs.
.

Today was a break through and hopefully a sign that she will be ok - but boy did it knock the wind out of my sail seeing her struggle with her new world. .

One things for sure though, I never want her to change as what makes her sensitive to change also makes her so kind and loving. Definitely don’t change that dance Lucy - we love you. 😍 .

So I’m raising my glass tonight 🍷 to every mum and dad who didn’t have a smooth start! They’ll be ok, because they have you! Stay strong, cry, and remember you are not alone! 😘😘

I’ll tell you more about this beautiful embroidered table-cloth soon, but for now, just know that it’s a very old heirloom which has been passed to me to make something from it.........#nopressure .

You literally turn your back and the summer has gone 😩
.
Feeling all the emotions today - and my 2 don’t even go back until tomorrow 🤦🏼‍♀️ .
So I am back to the sewing table and boy oh boy you guys are amazing, even taking 3 months away from working on any orders you were all still keen beans and we’re willing to wait until I was back and still made orders!
.
! I’m staring to work through orders and hopefully by the end of this week I’ll have a better idea of when I need to cut off orders for Christmas delivery 😱! (Sorry for mentioning the C word!!!) .
Any-who, I loved the back of this bears head so much!! So many details all over! No matter which way you turn, you’ll see a memory 😍 🐻 .

Take me back...... we’re home and fully de-camped from our 2 week camping trip, but all struggling with getting back to reality 😩🏕🌊
.
I think we embraced the simple life to the max - even with our challenging British weather! I think we’re well seasoned campers now!
.
This #birdshillquilt I pattern tested for @theblanketstatement got full use on this trip! I purposefully used seaside themed fabrics and they couldn’t looked better in this setting- plus Lucy aced it at modelling it for me in the sand dunes of Croyde Bay 😍 .
How do you all use your quilts? Do you dare take them out? Or are they only for ‘show’? .
If you ever want an heirloom quilt made instead of a keepsake quilt - message me 😊.

Definitely the school holidays when all my posts are 8pm and later 🤣 we have definitely embraced the slower pace in the mornings and I kinda like it!! .
This was the sister bear of a brother/sister combo I finished this week and we’re picked up in person - which is always a bonus to see my customers reactions in the flesh 😍
.
Deposit for new orders are coming in thick and fast and I think I might have the mention the ‘C🎄’ word soon and organise how I’m going to do it this year! 😱 where is the year going? .

Finally getting round to sharing some more close ups of the #sqflyaway quilt I made for my nieces christening. .
I used a mixture of Liberty Print and Kona solid fabrics 🧵😍 and finished it off with quilting a soft wave across it. .

Who better to announce the #birdshillquilt pattern release than William Shakespeare himself!! .
I promised @theblanketstatement i would get pictures of the finished quilt around my home town of Stratford Upon Avon - so i think this fits the brief 📸🤣
.
I loved making this quilt, the pattern was clear and easy to follow - i basically fitted in making it while juggling ALL the end of school year shenanigans! I think it is such a great versatile pattern - go and take a look at all the other pattern testers versions here for ideas: #birdshillquilt .
The pattern is available NOW! go and follow @theblanketstatement - Erin is also offering a 15% discount for he next few days so GO GO GO!! .

Quilts tied up with books (and of course it had to be #shakespeare 😂 📚)
.
Think this may be a new combo I offer?🤷🏼‍♀️ this was one was actually for my nieces christening - I mean who doesn’t love the idea of cozy nights cuddles together under a quilt reading the classics 😍 .

This weather ☀️☀️ we are totally toying with the idea of camping again this wknd while we can! 🏕 we’ll head back down to the same campsite as last wknd as it was so nice and so close and well..... why not 🤷🏼‍♀️
.
How light can everyone camp? We def took too much stuff last wk! 🤦🏼‍♀️
.
Highly recommend this campsite (#cotswoldviewcaravanandcampingsite ) too if your looking around the Cotswold area! (It’s near Woodstock) 👍🏻👌🏻🏕

What a weekend!! 40 mins from home but feels a world away from the norm!! - This is why we’ve bought our @vango.outdoor tent! .

Really not a bad way at all to start the wknd - came down straight after school, pitched up and ready for the wknd 😍 thank you to the freakish September heat wave 🙌🏻☀️🏕 the is our 5th pitch since we bought our Vango Azura Airbeam tent back in Feb! No bad huh! .

Are we crazy? We’ve just booked up a camping trip this weekend 😱🥶 please let it be an Indian summer and extend the good weather 🤞🏻
.
Who else is with us? Please let me know I’m not alone! Honestly thought this 📸 was the last time we’d be putting this tent up this year...... wish we were going back here to @oceanpitch - my favourite campsite yet! .

Final day of summer hols is over.... back to the routine tomorrow and I’m kinda sad! .
I know i will walk in the house and take a few minutes to enjoy the quiet, but I know I’m going to miss it! .
We spent today at @allthingswildnaturecentre with my folks and it has been the perfect end to a pretty perfect summer! The one thing I love the most is how close these two become when they have long periods of time together - it’s going to break my heart a little tomorrow when one is at school and the other at nursery! .

Well it had to be a pic of my boy on #nationaldogday ....... my handsome water crazy shadow, my world would be so empty with out you! But we would always find our shoes 🤦🏼‍♀️👞🐶
.
He’s celebrated by enjoying the joys of a ‘slip’n’slide’ on another hot hot day 💦😜

Not quite the perfect pic - but I’ll take it! it makes me laugh every time #kids #attitude #mood .
This was our quickest visit ever to a national trust - just one out local ones, it was just too hot to stay out! 🥵☀️

Home 2 days and still feeling the holiday blues 😩 I think I need to live by the sea 🤔..... or just book another holiday 🤷🏼‍♀️
.
It’s ok - as soon as the weather turns I’ll be craving skiing 🎿 #neverhappy .

So proud of this one - our rock pool adventures turned into a ‘collecting rubbish’ adventure earlier today. .
After seeing the litter picker on Croyde Beach the day before Lucy decided to make a poster to help promote keeping the beach we love clean. We then went to check out the rock pools to find crabs but straight away noticed the litter - so she turned her bucket into a rubbish collector. It was actually quite sad how much she collected, once you start seeing the rubbish, you see it everywhere. .
Croyde Beach - we did this for you, you have been amazing and it’s our little way to say thank you. .
I urge anyone taking a beach holiday to do the same - just 2 minutes each would make a huge difference! .

I don’t think I could even put into words what a day we’ve had - so I’ve put it into photos! Swipe across 📲😍
.
One day, one place - Croyde Bay we love you 😍☀️🌊 .
