My name is Gabrielle, and I’m an analyst by day, and an obsessed seamstress in whatever spare time I can find, usually late at night. I live in Sydney, Australia with my partner, two children (a 9 year old boy and a 6 year old girl) and our very irritable cat. I first took up sewing in my late teens/ early twenties when I wanted the kind of clothes I couldn’t afford, and started all over again a few years ago when my daughter was very young – my brain was in desperate need of a fun, creative counterpoint to work stress and domestic chores. I tend to sew colourful fabrics, and mostly Vogue patterns.
