I have been sewing for many years, since helping myself to my mum's machine when I was 11 years old- she wasn't happy !
I have a BA Hons degree in combined and applied arts, specialising in textiles. I did a lot of weaving, dyeing, creating my own fabric, which I then spent hours adding to with machine embroidery....
Having worked for a long time in offices I had children, left work and began to pick up sewing again. I did a professional soft furnishings course through The National Design Academy making curtains and blinds for 10 or so years.
I now mainly make bags, cushions and quilts... doing whatever takes my fancy and uses up my extensive fabric stash.
I also make to order and will happily put anything together for you... just let me know...
So I have recently decided to expand my creative opportunities to cooking.. I have passed food hygiene exams and had my kitchen inspected and gained a level 5 award. Currently I am catering on a small scale for my local micro pub- but who knows where this venture will go....
Thanks for reading....
