About Me

I have always made things and have a deep love of crafting, After graduating I worked as a Textile designer for Mothercare and Habitat, creating surface pattern. I have created design work for agencies in London,New York, Los Angeles,Tokyo and Florence, designing surface pattern for fabrics and objects. For the past 20 years I have been very fortunate and worked as a lecturer in all aspects Fashion & Textile design. Teaching for me is not just a job,it is a passion.I love to pass on skills,creating new experiences and connecting with people.I am proud to have witnessed the flourishing of many successful design careers. I always have sewing,knitting or more recently crochet projects on the go. This is an incredible exciting journey,being on this path and simply putting one foot in front of the other had lead to many creative experiences, each opportunity leading to the next. Ultimately allowing me to come full circle and create a business that incorporates my biggest passions design and sewing. Much of my work involves recycling of discarded or used materials. Making new and useful objects that make people happy from things you may have thrown away.

Jumpers for cups

Being the first day of November and because i could, this morning i have sorted and ordered my wool stash. I have had this basket for a long time.i think it is French and has compartments for wine bottles. I am happy it now has a new use.


Knitting for me is such an enjoyable pastime. On Sunday i wanted to stitch off and chill out. It had been a very difficult week, a roller coaster of a week. This coupled with a cold had sent me to the sofa, armed with lots of wool and needles, supplies of tissues ,endless cups of tea and homemade Millionaire shortbread from a craft fair the day before, here i stayed all day.


There are times when i see something and i just have to make, it is a compulsion that won't go away. I love these, inspired by the latest edition of www.mollymakes.com   Jumpers for cups...well it is nearly winter!
