We have loved supporting Jackie over the last 12 months and very much look forward to reading her book next month.

Sewjackie.com

I’ve written a book! 🤩

Rags to Stitches is my memoir — the story behind the smile, the sewing machines and the journey that brought me to where I am today.

There are stories inside that I’ve never shared publicly before, and over the next few weeks I’ll be giving you a few little glimpses.

It will be available on Amazon from 3rd September.
