Welcome to my little spot on the interwebs chronicling my sewing adventures and life.
I have been sewing for over 15 years on and off after being taught to sew by my mum at a young age. Up until I had my first child, a daughter in 2016, I was a bit of a sporadic sewist, mainly only doing the odd project. Just after my daughter turned 1 however, a friend found sewing and started to share her creations and I was inspired to get my machine out and join in the fun.
I have never looked back.
Since then I have evolved from sewing children’s clothes to replacing nearly my entire wardrobe with me made clothes and can’t see myself stopping anytime soon. Having my son in 2020 afforded me the necessity to discover cute boy clothes and sewing also offered me a mental haven from the trauma that was 2020 (and beyond). I have been battling Post Natal Depression and Anxiety since his birth and sewing has been a wonderful way to keep my mind calm and my hands busy.
The main purpose of this space/blog is an extension on the squares of my Instagram to showcase in more detail projects I undertake as well as share bits of advice and tips about things I learn along the way.
I can’t guarantee it will be consistent, haha, life with 2 kids and a hubby keep me busy, but I love to share knowledge, so my aim is to get what I can out there.
If you would like to work with me, I welcome collaborations and am currently associated with a number of incredible pattern and fabric companies. If you’re looking to work together on a project, get in touch and let’s see what we can create together!
