I am an avid collector and peruser of 20th century design, especially textiles and printed ephemera, and in my London studio I combine this with my love of sewing and creating to produce lovely things to give and use. Sustainability is important to me: although we love to gift and own new things, in this era of 'peak stuff' I refashion what already exists, and try to leave as little waste as I can. Whatever remains, I recycle where possible.

5 out of 5 starsI have just gifted my daughter her advent calendar! She’s is over the moon with it! It is a gift she will treasure and pass on to her children! So unique and so beautiful! I will not hesitate to buy from this wonderful seller again. In fact I’m sure I’ll be back in December for some stocking fillers.....thank you 😊

A great example of my ethos: denim comes from my apron offcuts; the patterned fabric is an upcycled 1950s cushion cover

Every scrap used: these keyfobs are made with pieces that would otherwise be thrown away
Vintage-inspired goods for contemporary living
I love making, and I love collecting fabrics, china and ephemera from the mid 20th century. There are so many fabulous old textiles out there it's a shame to waste them and I take great joy in creating lovely things for people to treasure and enjoy for many years to come.
All textile items are handmade by me in my workroom in North London.
The stationery is inspired by my trove of magazines, packaging and sewing patterns, with a bit of vintage china thrown in (not literally! that would be daft) Sometimes I handprint original designs, and sometimes I use a UK printing company to reproduce images that I use to hand-collage cards.
