I learned to sew when I was very young and in my teens I made quite a few of my own clothes (albeit from the “different sized rectangles sewn together” school of dressmaking – lots of dirndl skirts and boxy sailor tops). Around 4 years ago I decided that I would like to start sewing again… and spent 3 years accumulating a fairly impressive stash of fabric and patterns, reading lots of sewing blogs and producing on average 2 garments a year. A few months ago I finally got going and now I have found my stride I am really excited to be part of TMS collective and hope that it will challenge me to bring some variety to my sewing table.
