Have you heard the story about the girl who moved from big city Australia to small town Germany? No?!? Neither had anyone else ever.
Well, OK, perhaps I exaggerate a little…
Welcome to Everything’s Famtastic — your cozy corner on the web where thread, fabric, and daily life intertwine!
I’m Jenny, relocated from Sydney Australia to Smallville Germany, your friendly sewing enthusiast and fellow mum navigating the fun chaos of raising three kids (aged 15, 12 and 10) while juggling life in a foreign country.
Although moving overseas to a new location often sounds wildly glamourous, it can also be really tough. Combine that with being a mother whose children seem to know everything about how this country operates when I clearly do not, and you have one lady here on a continuous (often bumpy) learning curve.
I love (in no particular order): chocolate, sewing, photography, baking, reading, dancing around my kitchen, hearing my children laughing themselves crazy, sunshine and travel. (But did you notice how chocolate just happened to be first on the list?! 😉). I also love learning new things, be it foreign languages, new sewing hacks or how to steer a plane (yes, I actually did this)!
But why sewing, you might ask? Well, it all began with a tangle of nervous stitches and a desire to create something fun and unique in the brief quiet moments between the hustle and bustle of motherhood and all.the.things.
What started as a hobby quickly blossomed into a passion for sharing practical tips, easy sewing projects, and a dash of life’s little adventures with a growing community of like-minded souls.
Here at Everything’s Famtastic, I believe in the power of creativity, the joy of learning new skills, and the magic that happens when we share our stories and projects with each other. Whether you’re still a nervous sewing newbie or simply looking for your next inspiration, here you’ll find a blend of tutorials, simple sewing tips, and tales of true mum life, all designed to make your sewing journey as enjoyable and fulfilling as possible (with a few giggles on the side).
For dropping by, I’d like to say a big thank you and share this free, fun sewing project I’ve created! I hope you like it and I look forward to having you visit me here on Everything’s Famtastic again soon!
