Help us keep making magic Please don’t share our dreams away.

Our Christmas will be spent by ourselves this year and will be a very laid back day. We will still be having lots of fun (but I may choose to have a much simpler lunch). I also hope to do some crafting with the kids in the afternoon. I plan on having all the supplies ready to go to make some cute ornaments together for use in future years. The pattern I will be using is featured in this issue- Piccolo Snow Globes by Piccolo Studio.

I hope that you enjoy this issue, I am so proud of everyone’s input. After such a tumultuous year, it will be nice to sit in my sewing space and reconnect with my creative side. Please stay safe these holidays, I look forward to seeing your makes in our Facebook group!

LAUREN WHITEMAN Laz Designs www.facebook.com/LazDesigns Laura started Laz Designs as a place for all her crazy creations back in 2012. She loves to sew and design appliqués for her two kids.

For this issue, Laura designed the Moustache Tree Appliqué.

Ann was 10 years old when she made her first dress! She had been making dolls clothes from the age of 7 on her little toy sewing machine and her mum thought it was time for her to upgrade to the big electric Singer sewing machine.
