Welcome

Hello and welcome to Sage Threads.  After being a stay-at-home mum for several years, my youngest started school and it was time for me to start earning an income again.  But I didn't want to go back to my pre-parenting life as a volunteer manager and metal conservator, so I took the leap and re-trained.  I decided to pursue my enjoyment for sewing, and along the way discovered that I loved patternmaking, and creating garments for "real" bodies.  I'm also interested in sustainable fabrics and up-cycling, and hope to run some workshops and sew-alongs in the future.

Sage Threads is my new home business in custom dressmaking and patternmaking.  If you find it hard to buy ready-to-wear clothes that fit, I would like to make you a wardrobe that makes you feel fabulous because the garments fit and flatter.
