I’ve had the most wonderful time in Edinburgh! It’s such a beautiful city and I have met so many old and new friends here. You can still catch my stories for lots of photos of the festival. Unfortunately I missed the Diversity discussion but I will catch it on video when it becomes available. Thanks @edinyarnfest for an incredible show!I decided to be comfy for my Edinburgh trip in my @namedclothing Esme cardigan, @seamworkmag Tacarah and Hudson pants. I changed into something less scruffy for the knit night 😂 Also, flower wall of dreams on my road, it’s so pretty in the Spring 😍I closed the door on this view before leaving for Edinburgh today! It’s been a really busy few weeks so I’m planning to have a proper rest (I’m especially looking forward to not being woken up by my 3 year old every night). I also just had a weird experience on the train when a guy tried to steal the ball of wool I was using to knit my jumper 😳 I managed to get it off him in the end!{AD- Gift} Last week I spent the day making delicious macarons with @mondessert using their easy to use kits. My sister and I learned to make these beautiful macarons (mine are raspberry and hers were the green pistachio ones) and I was surprised to find it was quite straightforward and fun! We filled the macarons with flavoured white chocolate ganache and decorated them. It’s a lovely activity to do with friends or for a birthday. Use TBBSPRINGSALE for 20% off all bundles and subscriptions from 20th March - 20th April. Thanks @mondessert for providing the masterclass and @bloomandwild for the flowers 💕In the real world, sometimes kindness feels a bit more rare than it should be. I’m glad to feel among friends here. I have tagged a few friends who have shown me amazing generosity, thank you @pinkhazelbags @clothandcandy @kelmscottdesigns 💖. This week I am going to Edinburgh for the Yarn Festival but also to have a much anticipated break. If you are coming and are free on Thursday, I’d love you to join my Knit Night, details are in my Story highlights. Meanwhile please let me know your favourite things to do in Edinburgh so I can try and squeeze them in!Yesterday I heard the devastating news about Christchurch and it was only later in the evening that I had time to reflect on what had happened. That a man welcomed the terrorist in with a smile and ‘welcome, brother’. That a small child went to Friday prayers with his father and was gunned down. That people had cheered while the terrorist streamed his sickening act online. ⁣⁣Then I realised that the tools of structural racism and Islamophobia were already digging the knife in further. Australian senator Fraser Anning blamed immigration, not right wing extremism for this attack. The tabloids wondered how a sweet child turned into a ‘killer’. People said, how could this happen? ⁣⁣It happens when we make it ok to dehumanise another community. If you mourned the victims of terror in London and Manchester with Facebook posts, profile pic changes and Instagram Stories, did you feel the same about Muslim victims of terror yesterday? Did you identify with those families in the same way? We need to understand that tolerating intolerance and hatred around us leads to terror. None of us can be a bystander any more.I have posted an introduction to the @blanchexblanche online shop and my review of the @ready_to_sew Jamie cardigan on my blog. @blanchexblanche offer a curated selection of PDF patterns by independent designers in French and English. Use code ‘brightblanche’ for 15% off two or more patterns, code expires on Sunday at midnight Paris time.(Gift)This photo is from my camera reel but it gave me a lift on a grey day 💕Here’s the first of two @ready_to_sew Jamie cardigans I made this weekend! I’ll be sharing both versions in a blog post about @blanchexblanche (an online PDF pattern shop gave me the pattern to try) next week. I also made this maxi length @madebyrae Cleo skirt with an exposed elastic waistband, it’s so simple and comfortable to wear 😍 Fabric is @seeyouatsixfabric from @sewmesunshine.ukSome of our pressed flower experiments from a few weeks ago. It’s a lovely way to get children interested in nature and quite fun to see the results! I’ve been doing a bit of sewing this weekend including the skirt I’m wearing here, and today I’ll be making a cake for a very special occasion tomorrow ❤️Happy International Women’s Day! When I started using Instagram to share my projects and inspiration, I never realised it would allow me to share what it means to be a Muslim woman in the modern world. As a mother, I teach my sons and daughter to value women, and they see that reflected in the strong women around them who stand up for their values and contribute to society. As a professional, I work hard to earn respect from my patients and colleagues. And as an individual, I am proud to do my bit in creating a more equal and inclusive community. Thank you @molliemakes for inviting me for an interview for International Women’s Day on your blog today 💕Happy World Book Day! I don’t love the last minute dash to the shops or the late night sewing but the cuteness makes it worthwhile 😍 I made Noura’s Peter Pan collar using a free @petitapetitblog pattern and Idris’s dungarees are a pattern from @wildthingsdresses book.
