Katie started sewing at the age of 14 when she received her first sewing machine for her birthday. It took her many failed attempts of upcycling op shop dresses before she found herself sewing actual wearable garments. The love of vintage remains. She lives on the Sunshine Coast, Australia and is a photographer, a sewing blogger, a mother of two and owner of Sid the French bulldog. She blogs at Katie Makes a Dress.
