Sewn with love by Rebekah
Welcome
Welcome to Sew No.65!
I'm Rebekah from Northern Ireland married to Robert and mum to Henry.
I have a passion for sewing and in particular dressmaking. I started sewing in 2016 and since then I've been hooked! Not only do I love making clothing and accessories but I also love sourcing beautiful fabrics and choosing a pattern to make.
What I love about sewing is taking a piece of fabric and turning it into something so unique. The options are endless and there are countless fabrics and accessories out there to choose from! What a great feeling to know you have something no one else has. I always love it when someone asks where I got something from and I can say I made it myself.
One of my greatest treasures is my 1917 Singer Sewing Machine with a hand crank. It is a dream to sew on and there is something beautiful about using the hand crank to sew. The history the sewing machine must have fascinates me!
I have met so many lovely people through my hobby of sewing, some really good friends now. It's a great community to be a part of. In 2019 I joined the Dressmakers Anonymous Belfast group and haven't looked back since, it is wonderful meeting up with sewists chatting about all things sewing! I am also part of the Frocktails NI Committee planning to bring the first ever Frocktails to Northern Ireland.
Check me out on Facebook and Instagram to keep up to date with my latest creations.
