Thanks for stopping by to visit!

My website is a place to find out about me: my latest works in progress, upcoming articles, workshops and general news about my sewing and crafting endeavours and getting in touch, too. If you’re interested in sewing for children (especially with vintage flair), smocking or just making unique clothes and accessories for folks in your life, I hope you’ll find inspiration, commiseration and advice here on my site.

Visit my my blog for all the latest on my publications, pictures of my creative endeavours (finished, almost finished, and when-will-it-be-finished!), as well as tips, tricks and tutorials where I’ll try and share I’ve uncovered during my personal sewing, smocking and embroidery endeavours with you.

Until then, happy stitching!

Claire

The one thing that always cheers me up are the [...]
