(¯`'•☆ I love sewing ☆•'´¯)
Quilting is my favourite pastime but the amount of time and work put into one piece can take months and sometimes you just want to work on something and finish it in one sitting.
I make children's clothes - for my nieces, nephews and friend's children - and others by order.
But then one day I was driving from Warrnambool to Hamilton and bought a take away coffee for the drive and the cardboard cup was burning my fingers. I thought to myself I need a "stubby holder" to go around this to stop it burning. By the time the cup had cooled enough to hold it comfortably the coffee was cold. When I got home I searched the internet and found a pattern for a "coffee cosy"! I tweaked the pattern and added my own personal flair and then started selling them.
Then my friend Michelle asked me to make her a satchel style bag with a zip closure. We played around with designs, fabrics and soon we came up with the Satchel Bag sold on my etsy page today.
From there came more bags, bibs, toys, and the next big project - just waiting for the inspiration or the special order.
Have a great day and thanks for reading my story
