Hello to all of Blog land!


Well I have finally got around to starting my own sewing blog. After many months of eagerly checking every one I follow, I have decided to take the plunge and write my own.
Firstly readers, what can you expect from this blog? Well, I am a relative newbie in the world of sewing, so I can't claim I will be able to offer incisive tutorials (unless I learn them from someone else!) but you are welcome to join me for the exploratory journey! 
Sewing is something that I have always enjoyed but it wasn't until a long holiday last year that put my need to become more productive into perspective (those long holidays have a habit of doing that!)
I have a very particular interest in wedding dresses (crazy I know). Having worked in several bridal shops and planning weddings at a fancy London hotel, there isn't much I don't know about weddings and Bridezilla's (yes they do exist and are very scary!!). I have decided I want to start making my own wedding dresses (for other people, don't think Mr M would be too keen on me rocking the Miss Havisham look every day).

Scary isn't it!
Aside from making wedding dresses , I love making clothes for myself the idea of making clothes for myself but at the moment don't have all the knowledge I need to do this very successfully.
As such I am learning at a rate of knots, lots of this has been at college (various) but also a lot through the amazing community of sewing bloggers. It amazes me that so many people want to share their knowledge and it has been a privilege to meet some of them in real life too!
So welcome, I hope you learn something or at least enjoy some of my musings. (I promise there will be cute cat pictures from time to time too!)
