Home Is Where The Sewing Machine Is... Nanna B's Retro Prints Fabric
My Grandmother Beryl Baird, born in 1927, was a very talented and creative Seamstress; making hundreds of wedding dresses and everyday clothing. She added a splash of her magic to any piece or garment you could imagine.
As I look back nostalgically, memories of her Singer sewing machine whirling away, her collection of "display only" thimbles and weekly trips to Leicester market with her trolley to top up on wool, cotton, lace, elastic, buttons, and anything else relating to her crafts.
Over the many years Nanna B had been collecting fabrics, wool, lace & tools etc. She had managed to collect so much more than she would have ever been able to use in her entire lifetime
"I have too much stock!" Says no crafter ever!
Nanna B is my crafting legend
I was given a huge amount of Nanna's fabric, including prints you will never be able to purchase again. Hence the name of some of my scrunchies; 'Nanna B's Retro Prints' becoming some of my best sellers. I also have wool, lace, self-made dress patterns and crochet gear. The list goes on...
I have been making jewellery and other crafts for over 10 years, but the last time I sewed on a machine was in textiles at school. OK, I'm showng my age. Is it even still called "textiles" in school these days?
Point being, 2 years ago I didn't even have a clue how to put the bobbin in, let alone sew or be a smidgen as talented as Nanna B
My friend bought me my very first sewing machine in 2019, which I left in the box for months, as the idea of putting the bobbin in was rather daunting. I soon overcame that fear in 2020 when I, like millions of other people in the world, had nothing better to do indoors, but to learn a new skill.
After watching many tutorials & getting that bobbin tangled a few times, I soon got the knack of it all. "Thank you Nanna. You have inspired me" And now I am the fabric hoarder, who can sew in a straight line and LOVE it!
After this inspiration, I went out and brought more fabric (that I did not need) to make 1000 scrunchies as my first range.
I have not looked back since. Sewing is now one of my favorite crafting skills that I have added to my ever growing list.
I wish I had learned more from my big crafting star.
When I go through her books and self-made patterns, I have a glimpse into her ideas and creations.
I am EVER Thankful Nanna B.
For all those who find sewing a little daunting, look what you can achieve starting from scratch. It's never to late to learn a new skill.
In loving memory of Beryl Baird 10/10/1927 to 12/12/20

The work you are doing, and the contents of your attic are bursting with testimonies of your well earned title of “Ruby Craft Queen”. You are doing your " Nanna B "proud. Yours is a blessed gift passed down from your Nanna “Beryl Baird” Who was a legend seamstress in her time, and is still talked about for the fantastic work she achieved for centuries. Continue to go from strength to strength with your "BLESSED GIFT . YOU ENABLE ME TO BE A VERY A VERY PROUD MUM. Number one fan of “RUBY CRAFT QUEEN”.
