Why this particular craft?
Sewing’s always been a part of my life. My earliest memory of school is making a sampler in an embroidery hoop, so I can’t imagine not stitching. When I was little, I wanted to sew clothes for my dolls; in my teens, it was flared jeans and short skirts; and nowadays, it’s accessories and clothing for me, my mum and my friends. I love dreaming up something I’d like to make. And there are so many techniques to learn and styles to try, it never gets boring.
Have you tried plenty of others?
Oh yes, I’m a proper craft tart. I’ve had a go at card making, weaving, ceramics, silversmithing, beading, knitting, painting, printing, candle making, baking, um … and probably a few others I’ve forgotten…
