Hi Ask Sarah readers! I’m Holly I blog over on Stitch It With Style about vintage, sewing and lifestyle.
I am a textiles student from the UK and love to sew..and I mean LOVE! Ever since I was about 14 I have had an interest in sewing, I loved my textiles lessons at school and longed to have my own sewing machine at home so I could continue it. I got my first sewing machine when I was 15, a lidl’s special – we all have to start somewhere right? I was constantly on it making things for my room like cushions and curtains and headboards, I even had a go at upcycling old units – I loved it! I’ve gone through a sewing machine a year but now I have invested in one I hope that lasts me a bit more than just a year?!
I don’t really know where the idea came to set up my own business but I know I loved showing my products to other people and seeing their reaction. I remember when I was on a walk and I kept thinking of names of what I could call it, one was ‘sewing in style’ but I’m glad I kept with ‘stitch it with style’ as I feel it really gives a sense as to what I do. So today I thought I’d just show you what I do and give you a sense to what my blog is about.
A recent post was all about upcycling using Annie Sloan paint. I created a stall with a gorgeous floral print to cover the main seat. Here is the post, see how it turned out!
Here are a few things I make, you are welcome to buy anything just by coming over to my blog or emailing me OR YOU CAN NOW VISIT MY ONLINE STORE!
