. Hi, Thank you for having me. I am a granny who has sewn for ever, my mum was a dressmaker, so I grew up playing with pins and scissors. I started sewing mostly craft items, moved on to making curtains and household objects, then children's clothes when my girls came along. I now mainly sew fancy dress clothes as I have a fancy dress shop. Although I have spent seven days of lockdown making whole wardrobes of Barbie clothes for my two granddaughters! I sew all the time but wouldn't class myself as being particularly good. I am hoping to pick up tips from you all and get to see the lovely things that you make. CathyP
