Sew simple

I started making things on the sewing machine and by hand early Summer 2010 and have quickly gained confidence trying out new things. I have quickly become a fan of Cath Kidston, Michael Miller, Amy Butler and Tanya Whelan fabrics and love to use them to create gorgeous contemporary and funky wares. My signature piece is definately the patchwork cushion (remember I’m a beginner!) and I do love to use patchwork in other ways. Here’s a sneak preview of things i’ve been making…
