Sometimes sewing, often reading,  always learning 

Processed with VSCO with a4 preset

Books have always been a huge part of life ever since I was a child, and even more so during my university life as an English and Political Science student. But when I am not reading, I am usually creating some thing or another. I paint, draw and make miniatures on occasion, but now my main (and most time-consuming hobby) is sewing. As a lover of Victorian and Edwardian fashion, it was difficult to find clothes to my liking here, so I decided to make my own.
