You can find Erin online at www.erinlewisfitzgerald.com and www.modernmending.com.
Her retirement dream is to run a deluxe toy hospital for stuffed toys.
When she\'s not trying to save the planet (stylishly), you can find her making tiny dioramas for her magic letterbox or cooking up a storm for her cookbook club, the Ottolenghi Appreciation Society.
After leaving journalism she founded Bright Sparks, a social enterprise that repaired and reused electrical appliances to keep them out of landfill.
Erin began her career in journalism at 15 and over two decades worked as an editor, sub-editor, writer, and photographer.
Her mending has been displayed in art exhibitions in Melbourne and Adelaide, and she teaches workshops across Australia.
