About Me
I'm a Kiwi living back in New Zealand after spending many years in Australia and the UK. I am married with two grown up children who were born in the UK and have since returned there. We try and visit them every year or so.
New Plymouth is home now and we are so very lucky to live in this beautiful part of the country. Full of wonderful beaches, a very big mountain, cycling, marathons, WOMAD, Classic car festivals and lots more.....you should visit! We also have a very swish airport to fly into, just saying.
I love to sew and have a City and Guilds qualification from London's Westminster College for Fashion and Design.
I decided to set up Jones and Taylor because I couldn't source good quality fabrics locally and it seemed like a good idea at the time. Five years on and I'm still here, still sewing and enjoying what I do. I also enjoy a spot of knitting, walking and biking. The last two always involves a group of us starting from a cafe so we finish at a cafe, I also love coffee.
That's me, Mary
