HINT, HINT!
“I’ve taken over a corner of our
living area with my sewing
cabinet and bits and pieces, and
usually have stuff spread out all
over the kitchen table. I’m hoping
it will be a big hint to my husband
that I need a craft room!”OLD LESSONS DIE HARD
“I did sewing all through high
school and still remember some of
the things my teacher taught me.
Every time I go to press something,
I hear her voice in my head telling
me the correct way to do it.”“I usually put sewing before
housework! I’ve learnt it’s
the only way to get anything
done, and I don’t feel guilty
about it anymore.”http://www.angelleadesigns.comANTHEA CHRISTIAN,
ANGEL LEA DESIGNS“I am often attracted by everyday
scenes: a linen kitchen towel with a
bowl of fresh strawberries; my messy
sewing table; tea time with my
girlfriend. I like to make bags and
pouches to adapt my drawings for
usable, everyday items. I prefer to
look at those ordinary, extraordinary
beauties of everyday, rather than
putting them away in the drawer.”MY STYLE IS:
“I love using bright and colourful
fabrics in my creations. When I’m
designing my softies, I try to give
them personality and cute
expressions on their faces.”th
