Author Bio

After an agonising decision on whether to work in a costume shop or study journalism, life-long crafter Katie Allen went for the latter and has spent most of the last seven years writing, editing, or faffing about with websites. She is now the web editor of www.thebookseller.com and www.welovethisbook.com. But she never lost the love of making things and has managed to combine the two - her first job was on Knitting magazine, and she is a regular contributor to Mollie Makes, while from 2008-2011 she ran feminist website and magazine Fat Quarter, which featured many other creative ladies. She still fits in stitching, knitting, cutting and gluing in any spare moments, and spends far too much money on necessaryo buttons and yarn. She blogs at www.ladyglitters.blogspot.com and her Twitter is @KatieFQ
