  • Some work in progress. Currently adding hundreds of little stars to a special quilt commision.

  • I was quite pleased with my Halloween costume this year, which I managed to pull together with handmade things from my wardrobe plus some last minute crafted accessories.
    Of course I had not anticipated the questions on the character from my six year old, and not wanting to cause nightmares, we settled on ‘he was a bad hairdresser’.

    So here we are; Sweeney Todd, the bad hairdresser 🤣

  • Hello friends! I’ve made some new pyjama shirts to mix and match with the pyjama bottoms I made last month. I made three all in the same pattern. This patchwork one is my favourite 😀

    Now usually I just wear old t-shirts in bed but I had a special reason for making these; I’m getting top surgery next month (!!!🥳🎉) and I’ve been told open front shirts are a good idea post op.

    I created these using the Tofino top pattern from Helen’s Closet which I chose for the loose boxy
    fit. Checkerboard and two-tone blue striped fabric is from The Good Stitch Goring and everything else from my stash.

  • Woven bracelets now available in my Etsy shop. I only ever seem to sell anything in the months before Christmas so I’ve got vaguely prepared this year!
    They are woven with cotton and linen, each one is unique, and fully adjustable. Do get in touch for custom colour requests 😘
