Hi everyone! Thanks for viewing my blog. I used to sew when I was younger on my mums Janome machine, and I think the last thing I made was a great big beanbag (which is still going and in my living room!).
At Christmas my mother-in-law very generously treated me to a new Janome machine, and it was like I'd never been away from it! After probably almost 15 years I've fallen back in love with creating lovely things from beautiful fabrics with my sewing machine!
I started making things for myself and family, and after not long, I had people coming to me to make things for them.
The dinosaur cushion was the result of my sister asking for some dinosaur themed furnishings for my nephews bedroom. I bought Prestigious Dinosaur fabric, and made a beanbag, two cushions, pencil case and laundry bag - and still have plenty scraps left to make some more!
I decided that there was no harm in testing the waters and seeing if I could make some money out of a hobby (who wouldn't in this climate!). So I started up a website (www.ktcreations-handmade.co.uk), and also have a facebook page linked through this site.
My plan is to make some things to sell, but hopefully take on commissions to personally design things for people. And so far it's going well, with 3 new commissions for birthdays, christenings and a couple of 'presents for yourself!'
I hope to keep the blog up to date with new projects and tutorials!
KT
