Hi, I’m Amy, and I love to sew…
Ever since I was a child, I have been in love with all things stitch. Fast forward to adulthood and I was immersed in pattern drafting and dressmaking, stitched homewares and handsewn gifts…if I wasn’t at work, I was sewing, or learning how to improve my sewing, or sipping a cappuccino whilst reading the latest ‘Stitch’ magazine – bliss!
I opened my Etsy shop back in 2013 in order to sell some of my sewn creations, from hand stitched bags to wedding favours. But I’ll admit, when I became a mum a few years later and there was suddenly a lot more to juggle, the shop (and my own creativity) took a bit of a back seat for quite some time.
However, I have recently begun my own journey of reconnecting with my creative self, exploring all manner of stitching outlets – including creating my own hoop designs. It’s a joy to fuel my own creativity in this way as I help others find beautiful outlets for their own creative talents.
We’re in this together! Stay connected with my creative story and share yours as we continue our stitching journeys through the highs and lows of life. You can join my Creative Sewing Challenge at amylovestosew.com or tag me on Instagram @amylovestosew when you work on one my designs.
It truly is an inspiration to see what beautiful, creative souls we are – I look forward to connecting with you soon,
Amy x
