Maureen's Showcase

Maureen has always enjoyed sewing and craft and has made clothing both for herself and her children in the past. She has progressed over the years through adult education studying pattern cutting, tailoring and embroidery. She went on to do City and Guilds in machine embroidery, craft and design in embroidery and felting. Her hobby seems to have become a passion to produce items from fabric and stitch using all the methods available today. This is an important part of her life and she continues to learn new things every day.
