I’m 34 years old, originally from Canada (Québec) but currently living in the Netherlands. I’ve been sewing since my late teens, but I’ve always loved observing my grand-mother when she was sewing, for as long as I can remember… I don’t consider myself being an advanced sewist, there is still so much to learn! I’m just starting experimenting more with patterns and making my own modifications. So don’t expect haute couture type of garments on display here, just simple easy-to-wear clothes!

Like all sewists, I’m addicted to patterns and fabric! I have never counted how many patterns I have in my stash, but it must be approaching 200 (if not more), especially since I own dozens of patterns magazines, such as Knipmode, Burda, All Woman, Ottobre Woman, Sandra Mode, etc. Lately I’ve been trying out “independant” patterns, slowly straying away from what we call the Big 4 (Simplicity, McCall’s, Vogue and Butterick) and trying out new brands.

What I like about sewing? Probably the sense of freedom I get from letting my mind wander while pinning two pieces together, or the gush of satisfaction and pride I feel when I made something that fits beautifully. And not to mention being able to let my creativity take me away…
