I am a sewing enthusiast based in the leafy county of Surrey, just outside of London.
I haven't been sewing for all that long - I bought my sewing machine back in 2010 when I started making a few things. It has soon became a bit of an obsession.
In 2011/12 I spent almost a year making my wedding dress, which was simply the biggest project I've ever taken on. During the process, and as you will see, I was also quite often distracted by other much smaller projects! With hindsight, I am soooo glad I was brave enough to undertake such a huge project and it was totally worthwhile.
I must admit that I have enjoyed the smaller and quicker "normal" sewing projects after the wedding, and have found them very rewarding. So far I've spent the majority of my sewing time on woven fabrics, with the odd projects in jersey, but I think 2015 might just be the year where I embrace the world of knits!
