About the page author

Our heroine Liz with her family lives in France, in Lyon. Liz was engaged in digital marketing for 15 years, but then decided to change her life, devoting herself completely to creative work, including sewing, knitting and creating prints for fabrics, patterns, button designs and other haberdashery. Here’s what Liz tells about her journey: “As a child, I always watched how my grandmother sewed and knitted. She was a seamstress by profession and created beautiful dresses, costumes and other clothes for my brother, sister and me. I like to think, that it affected me. But my grandmother died before I was seized by a mania of sewing and knitting. " According to Liz, at first she learned to knit - on her own, from lessons on the Internet. And a little later I got carried away with sewing. It all started with the search for an envelope for her little son: “I was looking for this envelope from a certain fabric that I liked, and it was impossible to find one in the store at a decent price. I turned to a familiar dressmaker, but she refused, not seduced by this order. And once I had a revelation! I walked past a fabric store, came in and saw that same fabric.And I realized that at the price of a finished chest apron for a child, I can buy a whole meter of this beautiful expensive fabric! And I decided to make this envelope myself. Many years later. Today, sewing for me is a passion, but it is also a lifestyle. I no longer buy things as I did before. I have a completely different view of clothes, including the one I see around. "
