Amy is an early years practitioner, and is a wonder around the little ones. Amy is smart and fun to be around and Always manages to get through to the kids.
How did you get into sewing?
I initially went to college with Gill but found that the class wasn't what I expected. I left early, but then I heard that Gill had started up sewing classes for adults and that's where I really learned how to sew and then I progressed from there!

Definitely seeing the kids confidence grow and the excitement on their faces when they've achieved their garment, I love it! Also I just love seeing children every week
What do you like to make the most?
Definitely a cute baby girls outfit, it's just my favourite and I always have to top it off with a cute bow or turban
