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.

One more week of early morning alarms for the school run then we can all lie in ........ .
what am I thinking, we all know they’ll ‘naturally wake up’ even earlier - but at least everyday can be a PJ day 🙌🏻😍

Kicking off Monday thinking of new combo packages ...... what do you think? Would you want both a memory quilt and memory bear at a slight discount if you bought them together? .

This feels very foreign - i’m uploading a post in the evening 😱 but according to my IG stats - the majority of you guys are around this time of the day, so i’m giving it a go! (in reality i just haven’t been very organised and had anything ready to post first thing in the morning 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️😂)
.
BUT I am here to announce something! I have a NEW BLOG POST up on my website! A top ten of my favourite sewing tools! Go and take a look, link in bio, and please add any tools you love and share in the comments, I love finding a new gadgets!

Hello Friday! What a week it has been! Not gonna lie, it’s been a bit of a struggle this week, lots of ‘mommy’ challenges and I may of been pushed to the brink and cried in the playground - but you know what, I’m ok! The kids are ok and we made it to the weekend 🙌🏻
.
What has lifted my spirits is being chosen to be one of @theblanketstatement pattern testers for her new quilt pattern being released in a few weeks - the #birdshillquilt .
It is such a great pattern - I am loving working on it, especially now I’ve chosen my fabric! Anyone else spend more time deciding on fabric than actually making the quilt 🤷🏼‍♀️ I will be filling these squares with more progress pics so keep posted! And let’s hope the finished thing looks as good as my tester colouring page ( yes I did actually print the fabric, cut them out and stick them on the colouring page like it was a craft and play day 😂) .

I’m still here 🙋🏼‍♀️ the week has flown by and I realised I haven’t posted a thing for 7 days 😱 the ‘gram’ is gonna hate me!! .
Life just got a little crazy - I have forgotten how busy it gets before the end of the school year and I think my eldest is sensing the change looming and is all sorts of emotional (she’s only 6!) .
So here’s to cosy quilts and a good read! I could definitely curl up under a quilt right now and try to unwind - don’t you agree that quilts and books are the perfect combo 🤷🏼‍♀️

So yesterday was Just a Card Day! Supporting and celebrating all small independent shops. Its not just card, just a book, just a quilt when you buy from an independent shop - its just a life, love and passion your supporting! .
I think its perfectly explained in this poem (swipe to 2nd pic) by @thebespokebard, illustration by @jessicahogarth
.
I urge you to follow @justacard and all the wonderful support they do for us small independents 😘😍

Lets talk about details....... I can spend hours just looking at the clothes you send and deciding where they will be best used. I lay out the bear pattern pieces and start lying the clothes on top of them visualising what they will look like next to each other and where all the details will be best used.
I mean, who would of thought a pocket off a top would look so good on the back of a head 🤷🏼‍♀️ Maybe this bear will be used for the tooth fairy in the future...... who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️😍

Is this really where I live? Some days I have to pinch myself 😍😍
.
I have added a highlight on my feed all about Stratford Upon Avon and hopefully at some point over the summer hols I’ll get a blog post up on my favourite things to do here! Xx

I can’t help but smile every time I see this picture - it sums up my youngest so well 🤣
.
She was in a ‘challenging’ mood yesterday, which eventually rubbed off on the eldest too 🤦🏼‍♀️ But despite her best efforts to break us all, we did all manage to have a lovely day out at @ntcoughtoncourt .
Today she has been the loveliest little monkey again! Why do they do that? Always keeping us on our toes that one! But wouldn’t change it for the 🌍 .

Starting to plan what clothes to take on our next camping trip coming up next month! These are definitely coming! My @saltwatersandals_europe have walked miles around Disney World last year, and were the perfect sandals for handling the stones in the stream at Burrowhayes Farm - and basically haven’t left my feet much at all this summer! .
.
They are genuinely my favourite sandals that I have bought them again in bigger sizes for the girls this summer! (and yes we all have the tan colour 😍)

When the husband takes initiative and makes a ‘99’ 🤣
.
Not a bad replacement for a flake! .
(For all my non-UK followers, the ‘99’ is a famous ice cream! In a cone, with a Cadbury’s flake chocolate 🍦 😋 - it’s an institution!) .

So it would be wrong of me not to mention this weekend - here in beautiful Stratford Upon Avon (a place I am very lucky to call home) it is the #stratfordriverfestival .
Over the whole weekend there is live music, craft fair, food and drink, a family area, narrow boats and much more!! .
And if you can stay out long enough, on Saturday evening around 10.15pm there is an amazing firework display and the boats light up too, all with the beautiful RSC theatre in the background 😍
.
This photo was taken earlier this wk, a lovely after school treat by the REC and I loved this picture of them lost in their imagination looking at the images on the caves stoned floor...... then I noticed Emily was flashing her pants so had to crop the pic 🤦🏼‍♀️ it’s still a lovely pic of the Big Wheel in the sunshine though 😂

What a day ☀️☀️☀️ out of no where we hit 33 degrees!!! No excuses, the slip and slide had to come out - which ends up being the best splash park for the back garden! .
Swipe across and see who really loves it the most! 💦🐶💦

Still on a cloudy dark day #stratforduponavon looks beautiful. Loving how the green of the trees pop out in this light 🌲🌲🌲and the Big Wheel pokes out behind 😍 This view always make me stop and take a 📸 Feeling very lucky to call this town my home! .

Mr blue-sky - where are you? I’m still throwing it back to 2 weeks ago the sky is not this blue right now! - this weather at the moment😱 the heating has been popped on and the winter boots came out! What is going on England - I’m on the verge of sending Lucy in with tights on tomorrow for school - anyone else? #bringbacksummer .

I can not believe we were merrily bodyboarding in the English sea less than 2 weeks ago - then June kicked in and so did the rain! 🙁🌧
.
Oh to be so very British and constantly moan about the weather - but honestly I would like finally pack to big jumpers away for a while! .
Let’s hope it’s turned a corner by August when we’re back at @croydebay

So my husband has been harping on at the kids that it’s international #bestfriendsday ..... it was actually yesterday but it has made us appreciate how they’ve got each other for life and I really hope they stay as close as they are now 😍👭💕
