Welcome to Valley Threads, Hi my name is Jo & I live in the best suburb in Christchurch, the beautiful Heathcote Valley, with my amazing husband & my wonderful dogs Indie & Monty, my house is surrounded by the amazing Port Hills which I just love spending time in, mountain biking, walking my dog & just hanging out they give me so much energy to be creative.
I just adore sewing & have sewn all my life, I don't even remember how old I was when I learnt to sew, it just feels like something I have done my entire life, in my day job I am a product developer & pattern maker for a clothing company, but now lucky for me I only work 4 days a week so I get a 'sewing day' in the middle of the week where i can go to my 'happy place' my sewing room, most days I sew, some days I just potter about sorting, ironing & refolding my fabric stash, listening to sewing & craft podcasts & just surrounding myself in beautiful fabric.
