About Me

My photo
My love affair with fabrics and fashion started during childhood, I was encouraged by a clever mum who was always on her machine experimenting. Designing and the creative process keeps me just about sane. At the moment jewellery is my passion as; after all it is the little things in life that are truly precious. For me it its the process of making - working 30 hours a week doesn't leave much time to indulge this hobby. In the past I tended to give a lot of it away or remake once I have achieved the photo I want to make into another item. I'm now starting to sell though which is great, would be lovely to do this full time though. I am currently uploading vintage items I no longer have use for so please feel free to check out my little etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/HollyDaise

Up up and away (hopefully)!

So I have finally managed to sort out  a facebook page for my personalised sewing tution which I am hoping to build a business from.  It is in the early stages yet but I would appreciate it if you would take the time dear reader to check it out and like it and pass it on to anyone you may know who is considering sewing lessons.

You can check out the results of my teaching in earlier posts which show projects made by my pupil Kate, who is a really quick study.  Very proud of her, considering she has never been on a sewing machine before now she is proving to be very talented.

I think the best way to really learn is the traditional way, my mother passed her skills down to me which inspired me to go onto further study.  This is what I hope to do for others, provide a personalised  course of sewing lessons for individuals so you reap the benefit of my time and your funds.  It is such  a shame when people go to college classes, pay all that money and only have 10 minutes tutor time in each two or three hour session.  Even worse if you come away without a finished project after 10 weeks and no transferable skills.  I have called this enterprise Reap What You Sew  as I feel that personlised, individual lessons are the only way to reap any real benefit.


Have also popped into the lovely knitting shop Baa Ram Ewe in Headingley and left my flyer so hopefully we shall see if we get any interest!

Keep your fingers crossed for me dear reader.
