I started crafting when my son started (eventually) sleeping through the night but found I spend more time arguing with my sewing machine than actually sewing so started trying other crafts that didn't involve it such as applique pictures and covering buttons. As you can see from my shop I found my niche with the buttons and now make them into all sorts of textile jewellery. They are completely made by hand.

I live in Brighton with my husband and our son Arthur. I am a work at home mum so have to stop for school runs so lots of early mornings and late nights in my little loft studio.

You can find me popping up across Sussex, Surrey and London. My work is sold in outlets across the UK, France, Switzerland and the US. (details on my website www.jessiejumbes.com)

I was really chuffed to be selected by Theo Paphitiis (ex Dragons Den/Rymans) as one of his winners of Small Business Sunday. Jacqueline Gold (Ann Summers) also chose me as a winner of her Twitter competition, Women on Wednesday.
