About me
I have been sewing with a passion for over twenty years and genuinely love it! So far I have worked in Theatre and Couture Bridal and have a wealth of knowledge working with a vast variety of fabrics in the form of anything from a fun pantomime dame to more recently a fine corseted Italian silk bridal gown. These can be in duchess satin, french chantilly lace, duchess satin, chiffon and many more luxurious fabrics. I’m quick, versatile and have a wealth of machine and hand skills.
