Hello. My name is Irina, I come from Omsk in Siberia. I was a seamstress there for 30 years and moved to England some time ago.

I worked from home but as my business grew I needed larger premises. I moved to my shop in Gosport and never looked back. When I originally settled here I thought at first my trade was not needed. However, I soon found out that there was indeed a need for my talent.

I was the seamstress for Omsk Ballet School which took a lot of my time up but so proud that my creations were to be seen on stage in front of hundreds of people.
