About Me

Hi there!

Welcome to my blog 'Pencil Stitches', this is the page where I tell you all about myself....

My name is Cathryn, and I am a British girl living in Victoria, Australia. I got married in May 2012, and within 3 weeks, me and my husband Alex, were living in Geelong, Australia as I was offered a design job for one of Australia's major retailers.. I am full time fashion designer, which I have been working within the industry since graduating back in 2007 with a fashion degree. 

I have experience of designing womenswear, menswear and children's wear (including those cute little baba's).

My past experiences are designing for clothing manufacturers & suppliers for some of the UK high street brands,  also for the UK's premier fashion trend forecasting company Mudpie & mpdclick.com and also designing for surf wear brands. 

This blog is a mixture of travel, illustration, fashion and lifestyle. Capturing every day life as a newly wed and a recent expat of living in Australia.

LOVES:
 my fiance, cups of teas, Cornwall (St.Ives in particular.... we will live there one day!), Irish Setters, the sea, autumn, buying new pens, surfing, snowboarding and travelling. 

HATES: moths, bugs, coldness, living far away from friends & family.
