Scrap-buster sewing : Ireland, France, Spain

Join my sewing journey as I travel from Ireland through France and Spain, turning fabric scraps into beautiful creations. Armed with my mother’s vintage Singer Featherweight 221 sewing machine and a passion for creative sewing, I transform my fabric stash into stunning dresses, tops, jackets, and more. Along the way, I discover unique fabric shops, connects with fellow sewing enthusiasts, and share my love of sewing through teaching. From scrunchies to bunting to tote bags, these scrap-busting projects exemplify the incredible power of repurposing and creativity. Get inspired to sew your own unique creations and join me along the road in the wonderful world of sewing.
