I love to sew and learn new things when I get the time. I first leraned to love it when I began to design and create costume pieces in my teens. Now I like to learn new techniques and work with beautiful fabrics. My favourites are dresses but I also have done swimwear, drapery, quilts, children/baby clothing, lingerie, casual wear, trousers, tops; you name it, I've probably tried it! It's my hobby and outlet to think in a fast-pased world.
craft interests: quilting, sewing

Re: Book Giveaway: Seventeenth-Century Women's Dress Patterns
I remember the first time I went to the V&A.I was disappointed that the part of the museum with the period pieces was closed for renovations. I wandered my way up the stairs and stumbled across the textiles room. Row upon row of preserved fabric swatches were in the wooden cabinets. Finally was able to look at the fabrics that I only thought I could imagine. The first historical costume I sewed was from an original Elizabethan when I was 17. I've been fascinated with the technique of historical pieces ever since.

ssamm36 - I realise this might be nearly a year late. There are only a couple of fabric shops in Dublin that I like. Hickey's and Fabric Select are good. They have great fancy fabrics! I go to the Hickey's in Henry Street and Fabric Select is behind the Ilac centre in Parnell Street. Do check out Grafton Academy for more info. www.graftonacademy.com. I took a Saturday dress-making course there.

I like it. Might have to give it a go for a nice summer dress. Thanks!
