I've been sewing since I was a child and this craft has accompanied me for the last 30 years. I taught myself for the first couple of years and then had valuable input from my great aunt in my late teens. She was a couture sewing instructor and her influence is with me until this day: neat seams, hand basting, patience and striving for a great fit, along with consuming less resources. I sew because it makes me happy. I can dress the way that I feel great in and that flatters my body, by combining the style and the fabric that I love. I have been a midwife for 20 years and have also been living in different countries since my childhood: Chile, Australia, USA, New Zealand, Bolivia and currently in Brazil. My current passion is teaching sewing on my YouTube Channel.
