Sew Adorable is authored by Vanessa Mooncie, who spent many happy hours as a child sitting with her mother and grandmother learning how to sew. She went on to study fashion and textile design and became a self-employed children's wear designer, illustrator, and commercial interior designer. She now specialises in silkscreen work and designing crochet jewellery through her company Kissy Suzuki (www.kissysuzuki.com). She lives with her family in a rural village in the south of England.

Vanessa has written several books for GMC Publications, including Animal Hats, And Sew to Bed, Crocheted Wild Animals, and The Print Making Book. She is a regular contributor to other craft books and magazines.
