From an early age when my Mum asked me and my brother what we wanted to do when we grew up, my brother would say "make lots of money" and I would respond "I want to make pretty things."

So the five year old in me lives on, and that is what I do.

I adore floral prints and textiles, along with the tradition of quilt making. There is something so beautiful about the time and care invested in making a quilt, that is so different from modern day life. I like that the process slows me down.

I began making quilts when I came across a hat box that had belonged to my Nana, filled with embroidery and vintage fabric. I wanted a way to keep all of these precious things together, and not hidden away in a cupboard. A quilt was a perfect solution!

Now I use material from almost any where. I like to recycle, up-cycle and occasionally buy a new print that is irresistible. But I am very conscious not to waste anything.

I also wanted to make clothing for little girls, the kind that I would like to wear, and it is for this reason that my range is a quirky but mature take on a retro/vintage look. I used to look at photos of my Mum and her siblings in the 1950's and think "kids don't dress like that any more." They were immaculate and smart, and that is where my clothing range was born.
