Kristy Chan is a keen sewer and blogger who proudly wears her handmade wardrobe everyday and prefers shopping for fabric over shopping for clothes. She has been sewing since high school, when a desire for unique and individual outfits combined with a need to save money led her to start experimenting in sewing clothes and refashioning vintage items.

Kristy loves to use retro patterns, vintage fabrics and to customise sewing patterns to create fun and well fitting clothes. Kristy runs a blog where she posts recent creations and gives sewing hints and tips t o other equally obsessed sewers.
