Making things is very important to me and my most treasured gift (after a handmade wardrobe for my barbie including a princess di knock off dress) was my ‘craft kit’. I did a small amount of machine sewing growing up but always got my mama to do anything that required more than a straight seam. When I got married my Mother in law lent me one of her machines and it went from there. Nowadays I wear a lot of dresses most of them hand made and love the thrill of saying, Oh thanks I made it. I’m a mama to 2 delicious boys and I try to make (not necessarily sew) something every week – I find it very rewarding to have a tangible record of what I achieved each week.
