And I’m back in the studio…. Part time anyway (aka when the little one makes it possible!), and my appointment books are open again.
Also, a big thanks for all the kind words, replies and messages about going on maternity leave and our bub, it’s really meant a lot!

One of my favourite tips for hand-sewing is all about how to thread a needle. And as so much of my millinery life is spent with a needle and thread in hand, learning this little technique made it so much easier. Let me know if you use this technique, or if you know a better one! #SewingTips #HandSewingTips #SewingTechniques #HandSewingSkills #HandSewing #Millinery #MillineryMaker #MillineryTechniques #MillineryTips #ModelMillinery #SewingLife #MillinerLife

I’m all for repairing and loving the hats and clothes you have. Here’s the latest hat repair in progress in my studio - replacing some lost rows of stitching on a loved sun hat to help it survive a lot more wear. #HatRepairs #ClothingRepairs #SustainableFashion #SustainableAccessories #RepairDontReplace #GreenFashion #HatRepair #HatMaker #MillineryLife #Milliner #HandSewing #ClothesMending #MakeDoAndMend @indiemedway
