Hello there, I'm Mel. I live in a little coastal town on the south east coast of Australia.

I started my etsy store some years ago, with good intentions, but found myself concentrating on making and selling at markets and wholesale to local gift stores.

I have been busy creating and sewing for years but only recently published my first pattern for sale and I am so pleased to be able to share this pattern so others can have some success with selling their handmade items.

Please join me on my blog sewupmyalley.com for more projects and free tutorials as I pursue what is "sew up my alley", and may be up your alley too?
