Details
I’ve been mending clothes and other textiles since I was a child - and I still love doing it! In recent years I’ve been developing my creative visible mending skills in addition to my many decades of “stealth repairs.” Sewing, knitting, crochet and soft leather repairs are all part of my repertoire.
Bio
Born in the UK in the early 1970s, “make do and mend” was how I was brought up! I’ve embraced that mantra for my whole life. I moved to Aotearoa New Zealand in 2002 and my mending and crafting practices have continued to evolve.
