Getting Cosy with Designers – Anthea Christian & Minki Kim
Be inspired by our truly amazing contributors and designers as featured on Cosy PROJECT!
Anthea Christian
“I usually put sewing before housework! I’ve learnt it’s the only way to get anything done, and I don’t feel guilty about it anymore.”
Blog: angelleadesigns.com
My style is:
“I love using bright and colourful fabrics in my creations. When I’m designing my softies, I try to give them personality and cute expressions on their faces.”
Hint, hint!
“I’ve taken over a corner of our living area with my sewing cabinet and bits and pieces, and usually have stuff spread out all over the kitchen table. I’m hoping it will be a big hint to my husband that I need a craft room!”
Old lessons die hard
“I did sewing all through high school and still remember some of the things my teacher taught me. Every time I go to press something I hear her voice in my head telling me the correct way to do it!”

Minki Kim
“I have a university degree in sculpting, which I don’t do at all anymore, but I think I’ve found my true love with fabric, needle and thread.”

My style is:
“I am often attracted by everyday scenes: a linen kitchen towel with a bowl of fresh strawberries; my messy sewing table; tea time with my girlfriend. I like to make bags and pouches to adapt my drawings for usable, everyday items. I prefer to look at those ordinary, extraordinary beauties of everyday, rather than putting away in the drawer.”

Small wonders
“My five year old will often draw something on fabric for me, and I will use that as the start of my project. I love to use my children’s drawings in my projects; it creates a treasured keepsake. The funny part is, now she gets mad at me if I don’t use all her drawings.”
