Calling all Londoners! This weekend we will be manning our very own little stand at the crafty Christmas shopping Mecca that is the East London Design Show! Not only will we be selling our first collection of sewing patterns: the Charlotte Skirt and the Elisalex Dress, but... wait for it... we'll also be debuting our By Hand London & me sewing kits!! For just £38 you'll be able to snap up the Charlotte Skirt pattern along with a beautiful little bundle of notions, 3m of a super chic and suitably festive gold & red herringbone tweed, and your very own By Hand London & me woven label! This first run of kits is limited edition and will be available exclusively at the East London Design Show, but don't worry, we'll be putting more kits together in the new year which will be available in the By Hand Shop.

We've been having a blast getting everything ready for the show, roping in boyfriends, brothers and the little man for help with stand props, laser cutting and sweet rainbow edibles to keep us going...

So if you're local, or even if you're just a train ride away, and fancy supporting some local creative businesses with your Christmas shopping, swing on by and say hello! You'll find us on stand 32 at:
