I used to be an Interior Designer, working mainly for IKEA where I traveled the world designing beautiful stores and room sets for them. A little bit about me, My love of sewing and all things crafty started when I was young. I had a lovely Auntie- Auntie Joan and she was so talented and I could not wait for the summer holidays to go to Whitby, where she lived,and to stay with my cousins, for the school holidays. Auntie Joan would have a mound of fabric to sew into teddies or doll clothes, there was paper and paints, always something different. My mum too, was quite crafty, knitting was her go to craft, all by hand - until - she bought a knitting machine ! Oh how we loved the sound of that as we tried to watch tv after school. But I remember trying out different crafts with my mum too, from crochet to basket weaving and everything in between. View all posts by Julia
