I’m about to move from rainy England to sunny Houston, Texas with my husband. While out there I’m on what I’m calling a “career break (daft VISA issues…) and so have decided its the perfect time to take my love of dressmaking and clothes to a new level. Im quite good at sewing, having learnt from my lovely Gran when I would come home from college, inform her I had 25 costumes to make and we would get stuck in. I have an A-level in Theatre Studies where i specialised in Costume..I made a great costume for the character of Tatania, from A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream..I so wish I had taken a picture of it. I have a small amount of experience in actually making clothes, but nothing near the level I would like. I have made a 50’s style skirt recently, that I’m very proud of. I also love to make bags and this is something Im hoping to do more of. My ultimate aim is to open a Vintage Clothes shop in the next couple of years (when I’m allowed to work) and the skills I plan to improve can only help me in this exciting/terrifying adventure.

Anyway, Hello, nice to meet you and Id love a chocolate cookie…
