About Me

My name is Deborah, and I am a contestant on Series Three of the Sewing Bee.

I am originally from Blackburn, Lancashire and currently live in Manchester with my husband and our cat J'Accuse.

I love to teach, and hope to develop this aspect of my life more and more in the future. If you'd like to get in touch, or follow my ramblings, please use the links below:

I do a large variety of different crafts, to satiate my flitting brain. These include (to name but a few):

Embroidery

Patchwork

Crochet

Knitting

Fabric Flowers

Dressmaking

Cross-stitch

Furniture re-styling

Home furnishings

I'm probably missing a couple, so as I add to the blog... I'll add to the list!

I am hoping to use this blog as a space to share with you my projects as I go along. I will be including all failures along with successes, as well as info on how to make your own. I want to show my process when I'm making, from inspiration to making things (and forcing myself to make things properly, and not rush through them).

I'll share with you all of my crafty socialising, and hopefully we can inspire each other along the way.

I hope you'll enjoy having a nosey at some of my projects, and that you'll let me know about some projects of your own. Thanks for visiting my blog!
