My love of sewing comes from my Mum. When I was a teenager we would spend Saturday afternoons designing and running up new outfits for me to wear out that night. It all came full circle when I had my own daughters and would make clothes for them.

I sadly inherited my Mum's 90-year-old industrial sewing machines three years ago, and after a friend said to me "this isn't our first rodeo" the idea of making a wall hanging with special sentiments on came to me. And so, this was the first of many handmade, heartfelt banners that now hang on walls around the world.

I truly feel it's my Mum's love of sewing, which she passed onto me, that carries on through her machines and into the wall hangings I make for you. I inherited her fondness for sayings too. One of my favourites she always used to say is "they don't look at your feet when you are gorgeous".

Maybe when I have a bit more time that’s the one to hang on my own wall.
