About whitestarheart
A life long love affair with fabric and thread
I started sewing at a very young age under the watchful eye of my gorgeous Mum a good many years ago. My Mum's story is interwoven with mine, not just because of the mother-daughter synergy, but that I have learned so much from her and about her life through sewing. In hard times she was mending and making do or making two garments from one and in celebration it was beautiful bridal gowns for young ladies.
It has turned into a life long passion for making garments for myself and occasionally others, whether it be an everyday piece of clothing or for a bride or flowergirl.
I have accumulated many patterns and fabrics over the decades and know I'll never get to use all that I have, so it's time to divest most of it and keep those I cannot bring myself to part with.
I hope that the art of garment making and the satisfaction of creating your own couture become a passion for you too!

I hope the art of creating a unique garment or family heirloom continues to be handed down thru the generations.
