About me

Thank you for visiting Sewaliche. My name is Alice, although my mum used to call me "Ali-che" when I was growing up, hence the name Aliche. This is a space where I share my DIY projects, whether that be sewing, crafts, or interiors.

I started sewing in 2017 while in medical school and haven't stopped since. It's been vital for me to have this creative outlet, as it's somewhere I can escape to when work gets tough. When I first started sewing, I found sewing blogs useful for reviewing patterns, products, etc. I then joined "sewing Instagram" in 2019, which, at the time, was a great tool for seeing others' makes using pattern hashtags. However, the Instagram I once enjoyed using has changed a LOT since then and I wanted a better medium to write about and document my projects.

In 2023, I was finally able to buy my first home with my partner. Since then, I have branched out into DIY house projects and interiors after learning to use power tools and in an attempt to save money for the mortgage.

My goal in starting this blog is to create a useful space outside of Instagram for others who sew and partake in DIY. Here, you'll find a wide range of my makes, my mistakes, tutorials, tips, sewing pattern reviews, and hopefully some inspiration.
