We get to see a glimpse of a


designer’s own sewing space...


“I have lived in the same house for


35 years – a terraced house near the


River Thames in Greenwich. Though


I store yarns and other materials all


over the house – I am fortunate to


have my own workroom. I have a huge


72-drawer cabinet to store supplies,


lots of shelving and a big desk for my


sewing machine and drawing board.


Is my work space tidy? No! So to escape


the mess, I make good use of other


rooms. I have a desk and an easel in my


bedroom, I use our large kitchen table


for cutt ing fabric, the guest bedroom


for photography and when I’m doing


knitt ing or embroidery I get comfy on


the living room sofa. Why sit at a desk


when you can curl up with a cat and a


good movie while you work?”


PURRFECT

which would make ideal Christmas presents. Using


only one thread colour, there are six designs to

Attentive Spaniel! Each kit comes with a hoop for
