Both my mother and grandmother have been sewing professionally. I’ve grown up watching my mum and her sewing machine, and I’m not afraid to use my own high tech Pfaff. My speciality is not to make clothes from scratch, but to embellish, alter or redesign old or new stuff in my wardrobe. I keep a lot of materials, buttons and stuff from my childhood, and once in a while I find the perfect place for it.
