This has nothing to do with craft.

Today is my boyfriend Jonny’s birthday. Without him, I would never have got Material World written. He cooked for me, cleaned our flat, and said ‘keep going, you’re ace’ when I was tearing my hair out. He is brilliant. Happy birthday J!

Oh THAT’S where All Saints got their sewing machines from.

Walk into any All Saints stores across the world and you’ll be greet with a zillion and one Singer sewing machines. It’s, like, their thing.

But where the hell do they get them all from?

Well, it seems they came from a chap called Scott Reynolds of a company called Unique Finds. And I know this how? It’s because All Saints nearly went under, and it was because they forked out too much on supplies, such as A ZILLIION AND ONE SINGER SEWING MACHINES. More over at thisismoney.co.uk
