Thirteen years ago, my husband and I emigrated from Germany and set up home in South Africa. I brought along with me my great love of sewing and continued to enjoy this pastime. So my choice of the name Schneiderhaus for my craft speaks for itself, does it not.** And obviously I designed and sewed my own clothes.

Then a friend who saw my enjoyment of sewing and the fun I derived from the use of colours, suggested that I try patchwork as it gives maximum scope for expression of these two aspects of the craft of sewing.

That was the beginning of a new passion, and also a new phase to my craft. As a member of the Patchwork Guild of Somerset West for some years now, I have learned to appreciate the value of patchwork as an integral part of both design and colouring of my many sewn articles. Its limitless palette and variety of brushstrokes give maximum scope to creativity, and no two items ever end up looking the same.

Consequently, I have a wide range of sewn articles and a big assortment of styles and colours. The range includes:

Baby blankets, placemats, potholders, tablecloths, cushion covers, bags

… but best you come and see for yourself as there is much much more.

Because of their special qualities and textures I use natural fibres exclusively, such as cotton, silk and linen. Added interest comes from the variety of sewing techniques I use.

** and for those who do not know its meaning, Schneiderhaus is the house of the tailor
