I’m Anya, a Hertfordshire-based flirty ‘n’ sassy sewist who loves nothing more than to play with patterns and fabrics all day long.

My weaknesses are gorgeous fabrics, vintage patterns (real or repro, I’m no snob), and books or magazines spilling over with ideas.

I’d love to sew more clothes than I buy, and being creative’s the best remedy I know for both the blues and for what Holly Golightly called ‘the mean reds‘.

My strengths? A great eye for colour, an attention to fit and ideas .. oh, always ideas. One day, I even hope to sew some of them..!
