I learned to sew when I was little, it was something Mum and my nan’s were always doing, so Mum taught me, before I started doing “needlework” at school. (Wonder if that’s why I have lots of bad habits?) I didn’t sew much in my teens or early twenties, preferring to do cross stitch, but started sewing again once I started renting my own place so I could make decent curtains and soft furnishings. It wasn’t long before I was making my own clothes again. Having discovered the world of sewing blogs about four years ago I’ve started sewing a lot more and love it. I blog mainly about my sewing, but there are the odd knitting projects plus photos of meet-ups with the amazing group of sewers I’ve met in Wellington, NZ, since moving here from the UK two years ago.
