The Returning Sewer

Earlier this year 2024, I rediscovered my love of dressmaking, after a good 10 year gap - how things have moved forward in that time! The choice of fabrics and patterns are unbelievable and wow how Minerva has grown! Every day I am enjoying something dressmaking related - if not cutting out or sewing on my old trusty Bernina, then its planning the next make. I love looking at the fabrics and patterns and being inspired by other Minervians! I became an octogenarian earlier this summer and I live in the UK in north Essex with my husband and our cockapoo Toffee.
