I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve launched a Patreon page! A lot of the inspiration for my fashion and prints comes from browsing vintage magazines and catalogues. Now you can share in my collection of vintage publications, and support my work. My collection covers the early 1900s to the 1950s, with magazines, pattern books and catalogues featuring fashion & beauty, knitting patterns, recipes, and social history illustrating everyday life in eras past.
There are four tiers of membership starting at £2.50 per month: Sewing Supporter, Embroidery Enthusiast, Appliqué Aficionado and Couture Connoisseur.
Members of the Enthusiast tier and higher can also join me in DIY sewing and craft projects (often inspired by that month’s magazines). Upcoming projects include hats, handbags, and jewellery, and will include tutorials and printable templates as applicable.
Patrons will also have the opportunity for involvement in the development of new fabric designs, with exclusive voting power and proposal power. Patrons at Couture Connoisseur level can even customise designs with their preferred colour schemes and sizing, at no additional fee.
I’m so excited to be able to share my vintage magazines, projects and tutorials in this way, and I hope you’ll join me on this journey!
