On the 8th December 2011 I made a spontaneous purchase at Spotlight…a sewing machine:
And it brought out a creative side of me I had never really seen before!
I did the mandatory sewing introduction in Year 7 & 8 at school, then did what most girls did and elected sewing for years 9 & 10. I always wished I had done woodwork instead but when I bought my first machine 10 years later it was just all so intuitive to me thanks to all those classes and I now love it
While I have a basic knowledge, I am essentially a beginner and this blog chronicles my new hobby…the first real hobby I have ever had!
I work in Industrial Relations, want to be a writer, love indoor wall climbing and drink loads of tea. Lets all be friends!

How exciting! Can’t wait to see your creations!
Hi Dani, thanks for visiting my blog. I can’t believe how much you have been doing in such a short time!
