Running U-Handbag has been an amazing experience, from selling pretty things to meeting Amy Butler, from writing books and appearing on TV to hugging customers/readers, it has really been a ball!!   After nearly 15 years it (really) is time to say goodbye.   I want to leave my office job (so to speak) and hit the road.  I dearly miss teaching face to face and I’m itching to write again.  I would like to live a less busy life and focus more on my family and myself.

I’ll still be in the craft world, I couldn’t stop if I tried.  I will still blog on this blog, design, appear on Sewing Quarter, I’ll teach workshops and I am going to write.  I hope those of you who have been so kind as to buy my books and patterns will from time to time, continue to check in on me and my work.

I want to thank each and every one of my customers and readers.  Thanks to you, I was able to make a living from doing something that I love.  You have been so kind and supportive of me and my team.  All of your kind emails/comments/feedback/phone calls have been so gratefully received over the years.  You have made it feel like we were serving a community, a group of friends.  I cannot thank you enough.

Big hug, Lisa xx
