I've been making Christmas Stockings for almost 30 years now. It is my belief that Father Christmas has a special place in his heart for tiny surprises.
Lately I've been doing more writing than sewing, but I can’t seem to quell my passion for vintage fabrics.
The stockpile keeps growing, you’d think I’d keep sewing! Anything you can stick a needle through is fair game for sox -- oh yeah, and there's the glue gun too.
England is my very favorite place to shop. Those Brits have amazing antique fabrics! And, from India-- saris are fantastic to create with!! Embroidered-beaded-jeweled-sequined. YUMMY!
