Football is most definitely not my thing. My family are all proud Swans fans and still tease me over the time we hired a box at the stadium for my Dad’s 70th birthday and I declared that I was “reading the magazine in the interval.” Apparently I was supposed to say “reading the programme at half time!” Me and The Husband are a match (see what I done there) made in heaven as football is definitely not his thing either! (Phew!)
However I do understand the pride, love, passion and sense of belonging that football brings to so many and so, when I was asked by a lifelong Liverpool fan to make a Memory Cushion out of his Scouser Dad’s football shirt, I knew the huge importance of this sewing task and the trust the family had placed in me. 
You know I may not be a fan of football but I absolutely love how this very special Memory Cushion, instead of being tucked away in a drawer somewhere, can now sit quietly amongst the family. This Memory Cushion is poignant symbol of their much loved and missed father and a sweet reminder that “You’ll never walk alone!” #liverpool #liverpoolfc #youllneverwalkalone #ynwa #memorycushion #memorycushions #sewing #thethreadshed #thethreadshedfresheast #lovetosew #cushion #liverpoolmemory #liverpoolmemorycushion #football #footballfan #footballshirts #footballcushion (at Freshwater East) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBaJUtLD4ZI/?igshid=12floney1igeq

One of the things I just love about getting 'arty farty' to design your own T-shirt is that each and every T-shirt leaving the ThreadShed is utterly unique and personal to the visiting designer. Holidaymakers come to me with a headful of ideas and together we play with online images, and use the Silhouette software, to turn their raw ideas into great T-shirt designs.
This week a father and son team turned their back on simple stock images and instead drew their own images. Each individual drawing represented an activity during their holiday in glorious Pembrokeshire. There were drawings of their Airbnb jet plane accommodation (complete with a PlayStation in the cockpit), a fun game of football golf, a kayaking adventure through caves, and of course a visit to The ThreadShed, and all were were drawn by the super bright and creative 7 year old holidaymaker and his Dad. The images came straight out of his imagination and a stack of coloured pencils.
Now that's the way to remember a great holiday huh? #pembrokeshire #thingstodoinpembrokeshire #thingstodoinpembs #tshirt #tshirtdesigner #tshirtworkshop #designer #freshwatereast #thethreadshed #thethreadshedfresheast #holidaysinpembs
