What an amazing, hot summer we have had! June and July were certainly scorchers and that kind of heat is almost unheard of in England. However, its now time to say goodbye to summer, it’s heartbreaking we know, but say hello to our good friend Autumn! Although we do all love the sunshine, Autumn has is perks too, like bonfire night, Halloween, those cosy nights in! We know you have […]

Here they come, the holiday blues! Summer is almost over, we just have a few weeks left of the wonderful weather before we start getting out the scarves and hats again! Unfortunately, we are now unpacking our holiday suitcases for another year and ready to go back to work! What is the worst part of returning from the summer holidays we ask? Is it… The kids being back at school? Although […]

The forecasters told us to expect the heatwave to last until October. But whilst the sun continues to shine for some of us, and temperatures remain in the 20s, we’ve certainly been experiencing some stormy weather. After a beautifully-warm summer so far, we’ve headed out on day trips in shorts and T-shirts, with winter clothes a distant memory. So, like us, chances are the wet weather has taken you by […]

Here comes the sun! It’s the holiday season and we can’t wait to be jumping on that plane and jetting off into the sunset! Now although we might think we are ready for a summer break (let’s face it we have been counting down the hours), when we look at our wardrobe are we really? Its been a whole year since we last dug out the shorts and the dresses, […]

The end-of-term celebrations are upon us, sports day is just around the corner, and the leavers’ parties have begun. It’s officially the end of the school term and time for the six-week summer holidays. Six weeks can seem like a long break. However, packing July and August with holidays, family trips and summer camps means the new school term often arrives before we know it. With that, comes the panic: […]

Why not cut the costs you spend on outfits and gifts and come to Five Star embroidery, where we can find the perfect personalised gifts […]

But don’t worry, as always Five Star have you covered! Now we may be a while away from September, and I bet you are thinking “I’ve got a holiday to think about first”, however one of the […]

Hello June, and hello Summer! We are so close to the summer season, we can almost smell the BBQ’s and taste the ice cream. It has been a long, cold winter and at last, it seems we are seeing some sunshine… even in England! So lets put away the woolly hats and get out the caps ready for the summer sun. It’s almost holiday time, and whether you are going […]

It is that time again, football fever is well and truly taking over as we prepare for the 2018 World Cup next month. Football teams from all over the world will compete in Russia this June and July in the Fifa World Cup and just like every 4 years, football seems to be the latest craze. We have our fingers crossed and wish luck to the England boys as they sport […]

We have certainly designed some weird and wonderful things over the years, but possibly our most amazing yet was a quad bike! A customer wanted a unique and beautiful design of the fairy and a dragon embroidering onto the leather seats of the quad bike. The highly detailed design was stitched on the middle of the backseat. The ready colourful and patterned bike now has even more colour splashed on it.  How […]

As we enter summer the weather is getting warmer, the nights are getting lighter and the school summer holidays are fast approaching. Although we have only just entered May, we are officially in the final term of the school year. It doesn’t seem 2 minutes since we were taking those first day of school photos back in September, but here we are just weeks away from the 6 week holiday.  Time […]

Hands up if you’re excited about summer! Well after what seem to be the worlds longest winter (snow in March – it’s practically unheard of!), I think we deserve a nice hot summer! Fingers crossed that English sun is shining this summer so we can have our beer garden evenings and BBQ weekends! Now we may be mentally prepared for the summer but are we physically prepared? We might still […]

Spring may have sprung but we certainly aren’t out of the woods when it comes to unpredictable weather. No matter the season or month, you must always have an umbrella at hand for those wonderful rainy days! April is famous for its showers, just when you think the weather is changing and summer is arriving those unexpected rain clouds come around. We think it is vitally important to be equipt for all […]

We are FINALLY edging into Spring, after what can only be described as the longest winter ever! Put your big coats away and get out your smaller jackets (we do live in the UK after all). Although it might not be time to get out the shorts and suncream, it might be time to declutter your wardrobe, ready for the new season. It is far to easy to become a […]
