No more Havelock Jiggle

Apologies for another workroom story.  Peter managed to squeeze in time to put together my beautiful solid oak sewing table.  It has been lying in pieces since for ever.  It has moved house in pieces four times.  So no more jiggling and bouncing sewing table.  This one is heavy and does not budge an inch.  I love the legs they remind me of Robbie the Robot from Lost in Space.

Meet Dot

 A few blog posts ago I gave you a little glimpse into the world of Coulter and Coulter and showed you the process we go through to print our fabrics.  I entirely forgot to mention the other part of our business. 
 All our lovely hand printed fabrics are transformed in to beautiful items using Dot my trusty sewing machine.  I would be lost with out her.  I do have a study to sew in, but seem to end up on the kitchen table most of the time.  The light is so much better in there, at least that's what I tell Peter.  The reality is that there is so much fabric and chaos surrounding me when I am sewing that I need a very large table to contain it all.
