ABOUT ME

Hi I’m Shazia – a blogger and a stay at home mum to four little ones. I am a self proclaimed passionate dressmaker. Ever Since I can remember I knew I wanted to make and sew my own clothes, and when I was about 13 I made that happen.

Fast Forward to now, I have been sewing on and off for about 15 years – ok that makes me sound older than what I really am! All I’ll say is I’m in my early thirties. 

After becoming a mum I actually don’t get much time to be behind the sewing machine but, my strong passion for sewing has led me to start this blog so that way at least, I can write and talk about sewing!
