Caitlin has always had a love for all things crafty ever since it has been engrained in her from a young age by her talented mum. From embroidery to jewellery making to painting, she likes to dabble in and out of new and old mediums whenever she finds inspiration. She is currently learning how to use her new sewing machine in hopes to be able to start making her own summer clothes. Caitlin previously worked on Love Embroidery magazine for two years, before making the move to Simply Sewing.
