Hello, I’m Helen
I started my sewing journey when I was younger but never took it seriously until I stumbled upon it in college. From college, I decided it was something I wanted to do more of and so I went off to University.
There I studied a Historical and Performance costume for stage and screen course. Now I wanted to start a blog to share my knowledge and learn new skills along the way!
