About Kimberley Hind
Being the daughter of Debbie Shore, Kimberley has grown up around sewing. She has always loved watching her mother create amazing items from scratch, and over the last few years her passion for sewing has increased rapidly. After working as a Visual Merchandiser for 12 years and following the birth of her daughter, Kimberley made sewing her full-time occupation. Now, she is running a successful online sewing shop, writing dressmaking blog posts for Minerva Crafts, creating sewing projects for The Craft Cotton Company and filming sewing video tutorials on her own YouTube Channel.
Kimberley loves to upcycle clothes particularly, transforming a once discarded piece of clothing into something new. Her collaboration with her mother, Debbie Shore, combines both of their sewing passions, as well as Kimberley's enthusiasm for refashioning and helping readers look at thrift-store clothing in a whole new light.
Kimberley lives in London, UK. Visit her website www.whatkimberleymakes.com
