About the page author
The heroine of today's column is Carla Griffin, her nickname is Nikki G. She took the first steps in sewing at 8 years old, after 4 years she sat down at the typewriter and since then has not stopped creating clothes on her own. “My grandmother taught me how to sew,” says Nikki Gee. “When I first wanted to sew something myself, I was 8. Then my grandmother’s sewing machine was broken, and I began to sew manually, creating my first blouse. Over the summer, I sewed such blouses 10 pieces - it became clear that the sewing process really interested me. In the following years I learned to remake my old clothes, and at 12 I got my first sewing machine. For the last 40 years I have been sewing. And I love to sew! "
All these years Nikki G has been combining clothes for herself and others with work (now, for example, she is engaged in sales in the IT sphere). “But at the same time, fashion remains my main love,” Nikki admits.
