In memory of our mother Kathleen Beryl Mckenzie (nee Radbone) who was a dress designer and dressmaker and also a milliner from 1920s. She could sew anything from shoes for teddies to dance costumes and wedding dresses. Her daughters and granddaughters carry on the sewing tradition.

To Mum
She might have been the one who taught you how to sew.
Or made the first quilt that was wrapped around you.
She might sew on your button, or fix your dropped hem...She is passing on what she knows to you, She is your mum.
