sewing

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