My dad and mom divorced when I was around ten, and I didn’t live with him after that, though he was close by and we saw each other weekly.

Melissa George | dad
From about eight years old I was always making things on the sewing machine. Friends would see me making dresses and costumes, and I’d use difficult fabrics such as Lycra and elastic. But you know, my dad was creative and my brother is inventive too.
