I fell in love with sewing thanks to my grandmother Nancy. She was forever making my outfits on her hand-crank Singer sewing machine.

​Every holiday she would choreography a show with matching costume ready to perform to our parents.

I was all for it where as my sister was painfully shy.

​I got my first machine at age 12 and started making fancy dress for us both. As I got older I started creating an everyday wardrobe for myself, and  sometimes, if the creation was cool enough, for my kids too once they came along.

​Sewing has always been an escape for me when the world has got too loud.

I studied Art and Design in college including dipping my toe into fashion design, but I wasn’t ready to fully embrace the industry yet. But I knew whatever I did with my life, I would need to be doing something creative.

The year 2000 I trained to become a florist. This satisfied my need for colour in my life with the blooms around me, whilst my wardrobe could predominantly be black.

​Despite how beautiful working with flowers can be, its a physically exhausting career. In 2016 cruelly I lost my resilience and health and had to walk away from a career I loved. 

​Depression hit and everything felt grey. That was until I broke out my trusty sewing machine again.

​I first started making clothing to match the large collection of Irregular Choice shoes I owned. Then in lockdown 2020, I began expanding my styles to those from the past.

​In 2022 my studio was built, and I’ve been locking myself in there like a mad professor ever since whilst I sew and create.

​I would love you to join me on my creative process as I share images and photos of my sewing adventures.
