About Eloise

Hi, I'm Eloise Persson and this is my record of my journey into the fascinating world of Historical Sewing. I am new to this kind of sewing as of 2016, and most of my learning has come from other historical sewer's blogs.

I've been sewing since I was making little tank tops and pants for my teddies at about 10 years old, progressed to the occasional item of my own clothing in my teens, and then onto the much more boring but practical home decor sewing of cushions and curtains.

I live in Wellington, New Zealand. I have three kids and a very long-suffering husband, an English Springer Spaniel and one cat.
