ABOUT ME

I am Angela and I love to sew. I started sewing as a child and by the time I was a teenager I was wearing the very latest fashions to go out in. All me-made. I am passionate about reducing the amount of textiles sent to landfill, and encourage you to repurpose fabrics and clothes I started this blog in order to have a way in which to pass on my gained knowledge, and my professional knowledge to you, Sewing is empowering, you can save money by making items, make money by selling then, You can pass your knowledge on to others. What is there not to love? Interestingly I am a direct descendant of the Flemish weavers who came over to England in the 1300's. I find that fascinating especially as most of my family from as far back as I can trace are somehow involved in the manufacturing of fabric . . I have a degree in tailoring with a special interest in WW2 fashion.

Thank you

 Most of you know that I have had Parkinsons for many years and I have the added blessing of osteoarthritis in my hand


So I have decided to stop blogging sadly and to concentrate on sewing and machine embroidery for myself without the added pressure of writing the tutorial 


I do urge you to download any posts you want to keep, or email the post to yourself . I will be keeping the blog open until at least the end of this year 




There are a lot of posts worth keeping , tutorials , sewing machine troubleshooting,  so it is a worthwhile exercise.
