About me
I'm Petra, I live in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Besides my day job I’m running my own business: organising creative workshops and a web shop selling cute and colourful fabrics, ribbon and buttons.
In my spare time I love to crochet and sew. I’m always on the look for new inspiration on the web, in books and in magazines.
