A caffeine fuelled fabric geek, I design and make my textile creations in my garden sewing studio in Southampton, UK. I add fabric to my sewing stash wherever I go, and I love to combine the latest prints with vintage pieces. I am the Carboot Queen and love to up-cycle whenever I can. I adore fabric and enjoy creating stitchery, appliqué and patchwork designs. Sewing my way through life one stitch at a time.
