luckybear

Hi! My name's Lucy and I am a fabric-aholic! I have a massive stash of different fabrics but can never resist the call of new ones when they catch my eye! I love making bags, purses and pouches mostly, although I do also enjoy making cushion covers and other small fabric items.

I am a full-time primary teacher in Norfolk and also have a three-year-old son, so day to day I am quite busy! I use my sewing time to relax and get creative: I treasure the time I am able to shut myself away with my sewing machine and radio (and many cups of tea!)

No two bags are ever the same...even if I use a favourite fabric, I try to cut from different parts of the print, make a different style of bag or add details such as beads, sequins, applique or buttons to make each unique. Everyone has one of those Cath Kidston bags now - buy a luckybear bag and nobody else will have a bag the same as yours! I always make bags that I myself would love to own. It's often hard to sell them as I'd love to keep them for myself!

I also love making little bits and bobs - brooches and corsages, etc. I have built a collection of interesting vintage buttons during the last year that I am trying to incorporate into my bags & other pieces.

I am always looking for new ideas for what people want - please convo me if you have any suggestions or requests! Thanks for reading xxx
