Tales of a dressmaker

Memoir, mysteries and short stories

I have been writing journals all my life and in 2020 self-published my first book, ‘The Case of a Lost Case’, a mystery story based on a news report. At the same time, I have continued working on my memoir, ‘couture, costumes and confessions’, with the guidance and encouragement of Umi Sinha, author and teacher of creative writing. This is a personal story of discovery, fortune and self-realisation, intertwined with childhood anecdotes from my Prussian grandparents on my father’s side and German/Moroccan on my mother’s side.

Detailing my experiences of making costumes for film and theatres, gave me the opportunity to be invited into schools here in Brighton. ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’, is part of some school’s curriculum and the children and teachers enjoyed my stories of the making of ‘Aslan’ accompanied by original images.
