Things made good from surplus fabrics
The journey is as enjoyable as the destination. That’s why my homepage is a journal telling the story of my little brand and of the materials and endeavour that make up each limited edition Series of sewn things.
I hope that if you choose to own something I’ve made the stories here will help you enjoy it even more :)
