Hi. I'm a crafter and a sewer, in fact, there isn't much that I'm not heavily into because I thoroughly enjoy it. I crochet all sorts, bags - many to vintage designs (mostly 1940s), I source vintage handles, broaches and many more. I sew, I also sew bags, once again sometimes sourcing handles, sometimes making them to match, clothes of course, again making many items to 1940s patterns, though it doesn't have to be. I also carry out alterations and repairs to almost anything, I've altered many bridesmaids and prom dresses, I've repaired coats and even a settee cover. I love needle felting, anything really, animals, broaches, Christmas things, e.g. tree hangers, the list is almost endless. I enjoy embroidery, I find it therapeutic and relaxing, I've embroidered onto original vintage clothes, onto bags, onto cushions, again, many items. I do love flowers, also in crochet, needls felt, material etc., Many of my products are upcycled, all my bags are lined, quite often with what I like to think is a little luxury of upcycling. Do contact me if you have any questions or orders, I can of course make things in different colours.

A sample of shoe clips, these have a metal clip underneath to affix to the front, side or back of shoes. I make mine to match my outfits. I find them ideal for holidays when you probably only take one or two pairs of shoes/sandals. £2.50 per pair.

A selection of broaches I’ve made to sell, these are in felt and also felted. I also crochet them. Prices vary slightly from £1.50 to £3.00. Again, I can make them bespoke if you’d like one to match an outfit, put on a hat or maybe pin to a bag to add colour.
