Fantastic artwork has appeared in the window of Frome's favourite sewing shop - and for sewing fans, there is no doubting the personalities depicted.

Sisters Rachel and Becki , who have lived in the area all their lives, have run the shop in tandem since May 2008.

Rachel said: " We love what we do, we love making and we love seeing what everyone else is making too.
