Welcome to my  crafty world! I am a homemaker, wife of an awesome gentleman, and aunt to two adorable nieces whom I love sewing for. I am a self-taught sewist and am into sewing dresses and other knickknacks for little princesses and occasionally a few bags and wallets and am fortunate enough to land some testing projects as well!! Growing up, I had always loved arts and crafts classes in school and used to look forward to the one class held every week. After I started my Engineering course, I didn’t have time for hobbies and later I got a job as a Patent Engineer and crafting took a back seat. Moved to Mumbai post wedding after resigning my job and started painting and learnt to knit to pass time. Hubby gifted me a sewing machine for my birthday and my sewing adventures began. I discovered the wonderful online world of sewing and quilting and sewing patterns which taught me a lot and helped improve my skills. This blog is a collection of resources I have found online and my foray into the sewing and quilting world!!
