Making and creating has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Being taught to sew on a treadle sewing machine by my Mum started my life long love of all things fabric. Embroidery, crochet, and knitting, mosaics and decoupage are some of my other interests but it is fabric and trims that send my heart into overdrive. I started to create my wee mannequin shaped pin cushions as a way of indulging my love of using fabric/buttons/trims and trinkets and transforming them into something that is useful, but more importantly beautiful. As William Morris once said- "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” These are both.
