cheery textiles that make you smile
Welcome to Blueberry Button, I've always made things ever since I was a little girl, tearing out the sewing patterns of my mum's "Woman's Weekly's" desperate to know how to make it...
My Education in School, College & University always took a creative path, graduating wit h a BA(Hons) in Design Crafts in 1999.
Not quite knowing what to do with it, I went down the Teaching path and became a Teacher of Design & Textiles, then a Primary School Teacher until fairly recently !
In April 2018, I followed my dream and took the plunge in opening my own little studio/shop within a wonderful Eco Centre on the outskirts of Worcester.
Designing & making handcrafted textiles had become my "proper" job and I'm still loving it, completely in my element, so happy and feel very blessed.
It was a "now or never" opportunity and I'm a strong believer in fate.. (I just have to try and resist the fabulous cake that's on offer daily !) I also run a varied range of Adult and Childrens' Craft workshops from my studio, such as needle felting, applique and machine sewn creations which are proving very popular and helps to enhance confidence, achievement and well being and still allows me to teach.
Blueberry Button's products have always been cheerful and aim to make people smile, made for all ages - young and old !
For those individuals that love a bit of colour & humour in their life, who appreciate quirky imagery and lovely tactile surfaces to snuggle up too !
I love the brightness of colour, especially if it's for a child. Bright, geometric patterns, spotty polka dots, nautical stripes or pretty arrangements of flowers on heavy cotton fabrics make for a good mix when creating a range of animal doorstops and other home decor pieces. Soft merino wool felt is hand cut piece by piece and layered to create an appliqued animal face or a customer's beloved pet on a bespoke cushion. Bundles of soft wool roving is needle felted around a base to create a collection of seasonal character baubles to personalise your home ready for a celebration.
At Blueberry Button I'm always playing with ideas for what next to design and make.
I also welcome special orders & commissions where I can create something special for you or a loved one.
