i started sewing in 2011 following a fashion/interior textiles course at the bowery. having successfully exhibited my work at the recent headingley arts trail i have created a winter collection of handmade bags and purses using rich materials such as wools and velvets. the inspiration for my current collection has come from time spent in the yorkshire dales and scotland. i'm a magpie at heart and relish finding unique materials and vintage jewellery that i can create into something special.

i created gingerbread cupcake in my studio at home in leeds. i have a love for all things artistic and have painted since i was a child. after leaving my job when i had my children, i found the time to explore my creative side and in doing so i found the bowery. here, i took the fashion and interiors course where i began to sew. i discovered my passion for textiles and found that i can use my sewing machine as my paintbrush.
i use appliqué and freehand machine embroidery to create my designs, using gorgeous vintage and new fabrics, buttons, beads and ribbons. each piece is unique and most of my products can be personalised. with my fun and functional personal and interior accessories, i hope to make someone smile.
