Are you having a great time following the Building Block Dress book tour? We're thrilled to hear how much you enjoy hearing from the inspiring creatives we feature. Today, we're excited to introduce you to Lauren, someone who truly embodies creativity and passion. Lauren made it to the final round of the first season of The Great British Sewing Bee, and she's been an incredible source of inspiration ever since. Last year, she dropped by our blog for a chat, and we're absolutely delighted to have her join us again for this book tour.

I'm mom to one little girl who just turned five months old. I call Moseley home, a charming suburb in South Birmingham (UK). It’s such a delightful area with tree-lined streets and everything I could possibly need within walking distance. I rarely drive—everything is right there! My shop is practically in my backyard, and I often think of it as a giant stash of fabric that I get to share with everyone. While I adore my shop, my love for fabric goes way back. Ever since I was a child, I've always been drawn to the haberdashery section at Liberty of London, marveling at their stunning fabrics.
I recently finished my third winter coat, and I think it’s my favorite one yet. I can't wait for cooler weather so I can start wearing it. For this project, I used the Closet Case Patterns Clare coat pattern and some exquisite smokey pink ex-designer wool. As my daughter, Sophia, grows, I'm looking forward to sewing more outfits for her. People showered her with gifts when she was born, so I haven’t had to buy or sew much for her so far.
Don’t forget to check out the Guthrie & Ghani workshop schedule for a complete list of their upcoming classes, including dates and pricing details.
Join us back here on Friday for a chat with our next book tour participant!

By the way, if you're into crafting, you might also want to explore some other projects. Recently, I tried my hand at making a patchwork quilt. It was challenging but so rewarding to see it come together piece by piece. There's something magical about turning scraps of fabric into something beautiful and functional. If you're interested in giving it a try, I'd recommend starting with simple patterns and gradually working your way up to more complex designs.
Life has definitely taken on a new rhythm since becoming a parent. Sewing has been a wonderful outlet for me to express my creativity while spending quality time with my daughter. Whether it's designing clothes for her or creating something for myself, each project feels like a small victory. I hope you'll find joy in crafting too—it’s a fantastic way to unwind and connect with your inner artist.
