6 I’LL HAVE YOU IN STITCHES

Needlepoint is something I find very relaxing, and my flat is full of cushion covers – like the ones pictured here – and tapestries that I have made myself. My grandmother taught me to sew, knit and crochet as a child and whenever I have a spare moment – be it on the sofa in front of the TV or sitting in the back of an edit van – you’re likely to find me sewing away. Concentrating on such a physical activity is a great stress reliever after a long day at work. Some of my tapestries even feature the odd naughty word, which amuses my friends.
