Sewing

In addition to my day job as a tour guide, I am also a sewist and maker and can usually be found working on a sewing or knitting project in my spare time. You can follow my adventures in sewing on Instagram and learn more about some of my sewing-related projects on this page. I also get enough requests for recommendations on where to shop for fabric in Paris that it deserved a permanent spot on my site!

In 2022 I was interviewed for Sewing with Threads, the podcast for Threads magazine. I spent an hour talking with Carol and Jeannine of Threads about my sewing journey and my life in Paris.
