Welcome to my blog!
I make peg bags, cushions, bunting, bags, baby quilts and many other items, in gorgeous fabrics, mainly with a seaside flavour, featuring beach huts, sailing boats, seagulls, shells, fossils etc. I use high quality fabrics which are 100% cotton. My favourite suppliers are Rose and Hubble, Clarke and Clarke, Prestigious Textiles and Fryetts but I also make good use of my favourite fabric – calico.
A large selection of the items I make is available at the Lyme Antiques and Crafts Centre which is situated on Marine Parade in Lyme Regis, in Dorset where I live but I also welcome commissions. Here are some samples of my work:
Cushions are 17 inches square, fully lined, with a zip fastener.
Peg bags are approximately 12 inches wide and 13 inches deep. They are fully lined and feature a sturdy wooden hanger.
The handy bags are stiffened with interfacing and lined with calico and are approximately 7 inches square with two panels 3.5 inches wide.
The little purses are for coins, notes and bank cards. They have three internal pockets and a plastic popper fastening.
The lip balms and hand gels, each in a holder, have a key ring attached. I make up gift packs including a lip balm, a hand gel and tissues all in matching fabrics.
Hair wraps are 42 inches long.
The baby quilts vary in size but are roughly 32 inches by 40 inches. They incorporate polyester wadding and a calico backing. Matching bunting is included.
I have recently started making memory quilts and teddy bears from fabric supplied by customers who want a special keepsake to remind them of someone special.
