What is it that you make and what skills do you use?
|
I have sewn just about all my life and used to make my own children’s clothes as well as my own and for my grandchildren and I am self taught.
I embellish and make clothes for children from birth to 4 years of age for girls and have just started doing so for boys as well after having many requests.

What inspired you to start your business?
|
Friends and neighbours would always comment on how good my own clothes were plus my granddaughter’s were also when she was with me as a child.
|
How long have you been ‘creating’?
|
Too long to remember!
|
Is it a full time/ part time/hobby or business?
|
Full time hobby turned now into a small business
|
Where do you sell your creations?
|
On line through Facebook and have had stalls at the Pines Markets in Bentley, Kalamunda Markets, and will be attending my first “Ladies Night North of the River” and now at The Handmade Expo in Rockingham.
|
What makes what you do special or different?
|
You won’t see anything like I make in the shops as most of them are one-offs and not mass produced.
|
What is the most rewarding part of what you do?
|
See a small piece of material turned into something that people are interested in buying.
|
What is your favourite product that you make?
|
Everything - I can’t choose just one, sorry!
