About

I have always loved making things by hand, or using my sewing machine to craft larger textiles, quilts, bags or aprons. The pure and simple act of piecing different fabrics together and allowing all the natural wonky imperfections to remain, is endlessly satisfying to me.

Even if I do attempt to make the same thing, it will never be identical. So, I suppose, because of that, all the creations you see on here are unique.  Whatever little creature, bag or purse I make, you can be sure there will not be another quite like it.

As a recovering perfectionist, I am now finding so much joy in embracing the imperfections and differences in the things i make. Many of my creations are a mixture of shop bought fabrics and recycled old curtains or clothing, like the lining of the pouches or parts of the fabric friends. It seems crazy not to do that, since I read somewhere that globally, there is enough clothing in the system to clothe the next six generations of people.. So, where possible, I like to repurpose these rejected fabrics and breathe new life into them.

Originally from London, but I currently live in Nottingham, with my husband, my two children and our beloved pets: Mille (pictured), and Barney & Nutmeg, our two cats, who continue to inspire many of the creatures I make. When i’m not making, I’m probably with my family, home-educating the kids, out in nature or head deep in a book.
