I live in Moseley which is a suburb in South Birmingham (UK).

I live right next to <a href=\"https:\/\/guthrie-ghani.co.uk\/visit-us\" target=\"_blank\">my shop<\/a>, and as I kind of see my shop like a massive fabric stash that I get to share with everyone. I do love my own shop, but ever since I was a little girl I have loved going to the haberdashery department at Liberty of London and seeing all of their beautiful fabrics.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Lauren-Guthrie-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-57711\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Lauren-Guthrie-2-760x507.jpg\" alt=\"Lauren Guthrie from Guthrie &amp; Ghani\" width=\"760\" height=\"507\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Lauren-Guthrie-2-760x507.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Lauren-Guthrie-2-500x333.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Lauren-Guthrie-2-768x512.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Lauren-Guthrie-2-1200x649.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I recently made my third winter coat and I reckon its my best one yet.\u00a0 I can&#8217;t wait for cooler weather so I can wear it.
