This year I would really like to share my knowledge by arranging some bear making courses. I would also like to extend my own skills by learning to crochet and knit, so I can make some outfits for my bears.
I have had a passion for sewing for many years and a love for collecting vintage haberdashery items. After a gap of a few years, I picked up my needle and thread and started sewing again. Family and friends liked what I made, so my daughter set me up an Instagram page. This all happened through lockdown, so it gave me a real opportunity to spend time doing what I love to do. My confidence grew from positive feedback online and attending local craft fairs, so I then started designing some of my own patterns and taking on commissions. I have always loved all things vintage so wherever possible I always put a vintage button on anything I make.
