About Me

Inspiration wall.Creative Corner.Work in Progress.
Born in the 50s, child of the 60s, hippy chick in the 70s, mother in the 80s and returned to education in the 90s. I am now a passionate collector of vintage fabrics and never happier than when I am using them to create something new and therefore add yet another layer of history. My earliest memory of being creative as a child come from drawing around my foot onto a piece of Lino flooring,we were changing to fitted carpet! I cut out my feet shapes and tied ribbon around my foot and the “shoe”. I have vivid memories of going up and down the stairs so I could make a loud flip flop noise. Such joy!

Around age 10 my aunt showed me how to cut a paper pattern. Ever resourceful,I undid the waist on my Mums old 50s dresses(aargh!) and used the yards of fabric in them to make groovy mini shift dresses for myself. I guess you could say I have truly come full circle.
