About Me

My photo
I love to make things. I make things out of fabric (and sometimes make my own fabric), I love making books and I make things using wire, papier mache and found objects. Welcome to my blog. Here you will find little bits of daily life, my latest news and the odd ramble.

Jessie Chorley

The artist that inspired my love of applied arts is called Jessie Chorley (is she related to Primmy Chorley I hear you ask, why yes, yes she is – Jessie is the daughter of the amazing Primmy).  Have a look at the Fabric and Altered Books in the Gallery section of her website http://www.jessiechorley.com/, she uses found objects and stitch to tell stories set in time – beautiful x


I love the wire bed and bedside table.

Her fabric books motivated me to make one . . . . . 








I made this about 3 years ago and it took months to finish.  I made it using recycled fabrics and it is all hand stitched!  Labour of love x
Thanks for looking xx
