Hi - I'm Helen and I started my online pattern business, Bustle & Sew, in 2009. I hope I'm creating designs that are lively, interesting and fresh and that they will inspire others to pick up fabric and thread to make their own project, with all the sense of achievement and satisfaction that brings. I love stitching and am passionate about sharing with others through my blog and online magazine. I live in Devon, England in an old farmhouse near the sea with my Newfoundland dog, Ben - Townie husband is here at the weekends to help walk him!
