Outcomes From Maria Thomas Workshop

I started sewing aged five, at infant school. Running stitch, then later tent stitch, and on and on. My jacket is a bit of my own history of sewing. Lots of dressmaking, teaching Textiles in school, embroidery, general stitchery, collecting old bits. The tablecloth came from my grandmother-in-law. I still love running stitch, fancy scissors, Broderie Anglais. It's almost like a 'memory quilt', but in jacket form!
