Category: Sewing And Crafts

A large part of my free time is devoted to sewing and crafts. I find them both wonderful hobbies, and I spend a lot of time thinking about my next stitching creations.

As a mum, there is nothing that I like better than engaging with my little girl in a creative outlet, and it is an important teaching tool. It helps her fine motor skills and teaches patience and skill.

Sewing and crafts are also therapeutic activities for myself personally though. There is an element of mindfulness involved in sitting and creating. In addition I love seeking out new patterns. And trying out new techniques.

So here is my archive of sewing and craft posts. Hopefully I can inspire you to take up a creative hobby, or show you how to create your own masterpieces at home.
