I love … Sewing

Give me a needle and thread with maybe a few buttons, sequins and some ribbon and I’m happy!

I always did little cross stitch/embroidery pictures when I was younger which was great for learning how to paint the pictures with the basic stitches.  These days it’s freestyle all the way!

I never was much good at drawing but somehow with the fabric and other bits and bobs it all comes together quite nicely.  I only sew for family, friends, fun and charity (at the moment) as I don’t want to spoil the fun by putting too much pressure on myself by taking money from people to create things for them.
