I brought back from India a sarong skirt that didn’t fit well so I unpicked the seams and cut out and made a wrap skirt from the fabric. Really pleased with the result and it will be an addition to my summer holiday wardrobe!

It’s been a while since I had time to myself to enjoy a bit of sewing. Todays project - recover a ripped sunlounger cover.

I have a fabric collage in my sewing room that my late mother-in-law brought home from one of her cruises. I don't know which country it originates but it was from somewhere exotic as it depicts hummingbirds hovering over flowers. I look at it often and wonder where it has travelled from. It was this fabric collage that inspired me to make picture of Jay in fabric....

Just completed alterations for friends, shortening trousers and a evening dress. Making the sewn in vest of a jumper separate from the jumper. Altering a top so that the vneck showed less cleavage.
If you have alteration that you would like me to take on please get in touch.
