ABOUT ME
I am Angela and I love to sew. I started sewing as a child and by the time I was a teenager I was wearing the very latest fashions to go out in. All me-made.
I am passionate about reducing the amount of textiles sent to landfill, and encourage you to repurpose fabrics and clothes
I started this blog in order to have a way in which to pass on my gained knowledge, and my professional knowledge to you,
Sewing is empowering, you can save money by making items, make money by selling then,
You can pass your knowledge on to others. What is there not to love?
Interestingly I am a direct descendant of the Flemish weavers who came over to England in the 1300's. I find that fascinating especially as most of my family from as far back as I can trace are somehow involved in the manufacturing of fabric . .
I have a degree in tailoring with a special interest in WW2 fashion.

The Sewing Workshop BRISTOL DRESS and TOP
This is one of my go- to dress patterns . I always have one in my wardrobe in Black as it is so elegant and effortless to wear. It is actually my funeral and singing in the choir dress.

Re-use, recycle. Will you take the challenge?
Re-use, recycle. Make Do and mend. What is this all about? Why should it affect me?
I am alarmed after doing some research just how much clothing, some of it unworn, goes to landfill. We purchase a lot of cheaper clothes which soon lose their appeal and out they go. Our wardrobes are crammed with things we hardly ever. Or never wear.
Not just clothes, I have been rescuing furniture too
