Kia ora! I am a self-taught sewing enthusiast who loves to sew for my own pleasure in my spare time (I have to have a job to feed my fabric addiction!). I brought my first sewing machine at 19 after leaving home and and sadly couldn’t take my mother’s machine with me, but have been a binge sewist for as many years, well until joining the RTW Fasters in January 2013. Since then my dining room has slowly been swallowed up by all things sewing and I’ve not looked back, sewing constantly for 10 months. I’m loving the social sewing aspect made possible with social media and thanks to indie pattern makers I’ve got a ‘to do’ list as long as a piece of string. I currently live in Wellington, New Zealand with husband, three kids, two cats and a dog – life is busy but I wouldn’t want it any other way.
