Hello! I’m really excited to be beginning this journey and I’d love you to stick around to (hopefully) be inspired by my creations. But first, a little about me. I’m a wife and mother of two gorgeous boys, one food obsessed Labrador and two cheeky Guinea Pigs. I loooove sewing, cups of milky tea, anything covered in chocolate and Jane Austen. Inspired by the beaches and bushland of sunny Queensland Australia and by the artworks that I’m surrounded by at my day job, I love to sew up amazing things for all my family. Would you like to meet the fam?
