A Journey of Creativity Inspired by Nature
Surrounded by the beauty of Watership Down and my home in Kingsclere, I find inspiration everywhere—from rolling landscapes to everyday objects. My passion for sewing is reflected in the unique handmade tote bags, cushions, notebooks, and more that I create. Each piece tells its own story, blending creativity with sustainability.
How My Sewing Journey Began
As a child, I was captivated by my mother’s sewing. Over the years, that curiosity turned into a creative passion. I rarely follow patterns and instead design one-of-a-kind products, ensuring no two are ever the same. While most of my creations are unique, I do occasionally make limited-edition items, offering small collections with their own special touch.
Why Sustainability Is at the Heart of My Designs
I’m committed to sustainability, using rescued and repurposed fabrics as much as possible. Offcuts, leftover fabric, and rescued textiles that would otherwise go to waste are transformed into beautiful, functional creations. My handmade tote bags aren’t just practical—they also support eco-friendly living.

Learning Through Community and Online Resources
Although I don’t have formal training, I’ve gained valuable knowledge through online resources like YouTube and Facebook groups. Two of my favourite groups, Man Made UK and Memories in Thread, have helped me grow my skills, along with tutorials from “Christine’s Home Affairs.”
Where Craft Meets Purpose: Unique Handmade Items
I sell my handmade items both online and at local craft fairs, offering everything from tote bags and backpacks to notebooks and cushions. Each design is crafted with care, making it truly one of a kind. It’s rewarding to see my creations find homes with customers who appreciate their uniqueness.
