About me: I spend a lot of time altering patterns for fit. Making basically all my own clothes. I also spend a lot of time correcting, covering up or camouflaging the many mistakes made due to lack of skill, experience or just being human.
I also like to take unused items and create new use for them. A friend recently said she liked helping me dig through boxes because it was always like Christmas. I get excited over the most oddball little things, and follow through putting them to use in unexpected ways.
