The Case of the Crooked Seams 🧵

You’d think running a sewing shop in a quiet English village would be peaceful.
You’d be wrong.

This week, I witnessed what can only be described as The Great Hemline Incident. Two members of the sewing group (names withheld to protect the guilty) were seen comparing their dress hems, when one was found to be—brace yourself—a whole inch longer than the other.

There was tea. There was tutting. There were accusations involving “stretchy fabric” and “unfair pressing techniques.”

Honestly, I thought it was going to end in a stitch-off.

In the end, we settled it like civilized people — with cake. Because no argument in Thimblewick has ever survived a Victoria sponge.

What a day.

With love,
