About Me
I'm a Kiwi living back in New Zealand after spending many years aboard in Australia and London, UK. I am married to a Welshman with two grown up children, who were born in the UK. The children have since returned to the UK to live.
New Plymouth is home and we are so very lucky to live in this beautiful part of the country.
I love to sew and have a City and Guilds qualification from London's Westminster College for Fashion and Design. I often have sewing days with friends or a sewing retreat which involves a few days away with sewing buddies. We love a challenge and enjoy making our own lingerie as well.
I love planning my next seasons' wardrobe in advance, see what I'd like to add and then look at adapting my existing patterns to suit. I tend to spend more time fitting, adapting and adding features that I love or are trending. But I have been sewing for a very long time gathering skills along the way.
Anyhoo, that's me, Mary.
