I’m Jane and I live in Chichester on the South Coast.
I have always loved making things, edible and otherwise. My cooking and baking skills were encouraged at school by the marvellous Mrs Jones who taught us all the basics and a lot more. I just wish I’d paid more attention in needlework lessons!
Hi Jane, I like your “about”. I enjoyed domestic science at school – the dishes we made were all orientated around their nutritional value. The sewing was less memorable but I do wish I hadn’t tried to make a towelling dressing gown – it was bright yellow!
I’m also envious of the layout of your website. I’m new to blogging and chose the tonal theme, it looks clean and crisp but I didn’t realize how hard it would be to find my widgets – some of them are hidden behind a menu button!.

The yellow towelling sounds interesting! I am imaging yellow fluff over everything. Thank you for the nice comments about my layout. I just picked what looked like the simplest one and it seems to work well.

Just found your blog and added it to my list of sewing websites. Long long ago I got 3 As at A-level and won a scholarship to Oxford, and all my life the school grade I have been most, most proud of was the A I got once from the domestic science teacher, Mrs Cannon, for a painstakingly crafted A-line lined skirt in camel-coloured herringbone wool.

Hi Sarah. I think the most useful thing I learned at school was how to cook – they were certainly the most memorable lessons!
