Why a Booktrail?
2000s: When life is like a sewing pattern gone, wrong, you just have to unpick the stitches but what happens next?
The Cherry Tree Cafe
What you need to know before your trail
Let’s just say Lizzie Dixon’s life is a bit like a sewing pattern, which has been cut out, measured and hung on the model before it all falls apart and the pins fall out. It might even have been the patter for a wedding dress but she got dumped rather than proposed to. Then there’s her job – seemingly on the cutting room floor as well!
Right, that’s enough of the singing analogies – she packs her bags and goes back home to the village she grew up in to try to start again.
Her best friend Jemma is delighted Lizzie’s back home as she has just bought a little cafe and Lizzie’s sewing skills are just what she needs to help get it ready for the grand opening.
Things seem to be looking up for Lizzie. But can she find the fabric strong enough to help stitch her life back together? (and avoid any more sewing puns)
Travel Guide
Wynbridge
Sadly not a real place but it could be somewhere like St Ives in Cambridgeshire/East Anglia as it has the setting and the atmosphere of the book AND a cafe called Cherry Valley – it might be a chinese takeaway here but take a look beside the river and it merges into a riverside, village setting you can imagine. This is a nice village with lots of cafes and cake shops – try Tom’s Cakes for some really tasty treats
Wynbridge is a very nice place to be:
A countryside cafe where Lizzie, the girl who loves sewing soon starts to allow her crafting to take centre stage. The cakes are yummy but the customers are soon keen to get involved with the bunting and crafting and want to know how it’s made!
If you love The Great British Sewing Bee and The Great British Bake Off, this is the mix you will crave!
