Sewing projects & Tutorials

I was taught to sew at home by my grandmother as a young girl and have been self taught ever since. I read a lot of blogs and find YouTube very helpful with complicated tasks. Apart from the items I sell on here I also make Home decoration and clothes for my son and I ... it is hugely satisfying to wear something you have made!

So I am starting this page and a blog to start sharing my home projects and links I've found useful!

Happy sewing
