Who We Are
Hello, I’m Georgiana. I’ve been sewing since I was about 8 years old and have loved art and craft all my life. I love to sew my own clothes because I can make things that fit me, suit my personal style and are usually better quality than what I can buy.
My husband, Andrew, and I moved to Tasmania in 2020 during the beginning of the pandemic. We rented in Penguin for about 18 months before buying in East Devonport in 2021. Andrew was born in Bothwell and moved to Victoria as a teenager. When we first met Andrew brought me to Tasmania for a holiday and I absolutely fell in love with the state. Andrew was very fortunate to find a job in Ulverstone and that enabled our move here.
Andrew and I were married at the Tasmanian Arboretum in April 2023 and all our clothes were made by me. Needless to say, we love Tasmania.
