Phyllis Hoffman

Born in South Africa and moving to Australia in 1993, sewing and craft have always filled Phyllis’s life. Having taught sewing and patternmaking for nearly 20 years and writing five sewing related books between 1985 and 1993, her passion and focus has always been textiles. Knitting has always been her form of relaxation, and it is no surprise that when she stumbled on Felting she took to it with great passion. Phyllis now incorporates her fashion skills with her felting skills to produce designer clothing in felt.

Now I suppose I am what could be described as a "mixed media/Textile artist." What's that? Well, I think it's a person who keeps a wide variety of "materials and bits and pieces”, takes great pleasure in using them and dabbles in anything to do with textiles.

Her aim is to live long enough to use up all the bits and pieces of fabric, thread, wool, roving, lace, paper, paint, stamps etc!!
