I’ve been sewing since I was 12 years old. I sewed a lot by hand back then, we had a sewing machine at home, but it didn’t work well. I bought my first sewing machine when I was 24 years old and avoided any hand stitching at the time. In the meantime, I’ve fallen for historical costumes and sewing techniques and would describe myself as a sewing nerd.
I live in Bad Ischl (Austria) with my husband, my children and my cats.
I founded my pattern business, Blacksnailpatterns, in 2014 to support other costume and sewing enthusiasts with their projects.

Hi, I´m sorry, but the machine sewing guide is only available as a blog post. To save it at home I recommend copying and paste into a word file.
