Tuesday 31 January 2023: Mel is Puddingandpeas on Instagram. Mel came to Australia in 2003 from the North West of England.

Vintage sewing is Mel’s main love and she discusses why that is and how sewing key pieces of clothes makes her sewing sustainable for her.

When you have a look at Mel’s Instagram feed, you’ll see how vintage inspired sewing fills her grid and brings her joy.

Do you love wearing 70s styles? Mel did early on because they fit her really well.

We also share our love for shopping at The Sewing Basket, run by Achieve.

Do you love pudding, peas, chips and gravy too?

What keeps Mel sewing is that sewing is just for her and she can make mistakes.

You can hear how Mel has achieved her Me-Made-May goals and her love for Gertie’s patterns.
