I live in Nottingham and make, Bags and Purses, Tweed Bunny Brooches and other goodies using both new and vintage fabrics, i.e. William Morris, Laura Ashley, Liberty, vintage English, French and American cotton, Irish, Harris and Welsh tweeds and linens from the early 1900s up to the present day. Along with new and vintage buttons, ribbons and trims.
I took up sewing several years ago as part of my recovery from Cancer treatment. After having my Tweed Scarf Bag spotted by a vintage dealer whilst out shopping and being commissioned to make some for her to sell i then shared a stall with my friend Debi at a couple of Fairs. Whilst at the last event i met Vicky who asked me to be on board her events. A photo shoot of my bags and bunnies took place with Paul Dale Photographer. With their help and lots of other people i have been making and selling via a selection of fairs.
It has since grown organically over the years.
