Today we welcome someone new to the FTF family! Find out all about Victoria of Sew1965. You’ll find her selling at our Brighton Open Market fair on March 29th:
Hi, my name is Victoria and I make unique handmade, vintage style pinafore dresses for newborn to age 4 years.
I use pre-washed cotton fabric and all dresses are fully lined. I pick my fabrics carefully and only use what I believe to be truly pretty prints. I name each fabric and sometimes even use vintage buttons to make them individual.
I absolutely love what I do, right from the start, when I select a fabric, to finish, when the last button is stitched on and my swing tag is attached. It gives me great satisfaction to provide lovely little people with a dress to wear that won’t be the same as someone else’s, after all, show me a girl that wants to arrive at a party wearing the same dress as someone else!
I am so looking forward to taking part this year at The Fairy Tale Fair. My stall will have lots of pretty dresses on show so do please look out for me, I love meeting like minded crafters and people looking for something handmade to purchase, so do stop and say hello.
I would love to develop my ideas and, in time, create something for older girls to wear, and maybe even adults! I would love to sell my dresses in unique gift shops as well as continue selling at selected craft fairs, such as The Fairy Tale Fair.
Easter is all about getting together with family and friends, enjoying each other’s company and appreciating the good things in life, which includes chocolate and, of course, my little pinafores – what better time for a little girl to wear one!
My inspirational quote is ‘Love the life you live, and live the life you love’
