Hello, I am Maxine and I am the founder of Artisan Sewing! Ever since I was a young girl, I had been fascinated with sewing and dressmaking.
My hobby came in handy during my work as a registered midwife. It only took me a few seconds to stitch in loose buttons, fix runs in my socks, and mend a variety of other things.
