When my six children were young, space was at a premium in our home, and I didn't have the luxury of my own sewing room.
Every time I wanted to sew, I had to set up my machine at the kitchen table, gather my supplies and then pack everything away again.
I loved sewing, but sometimes the effort involved in getting started meant I didn't sew for months at a time, leaving me craving a space for creativity.
Those years taught me the value of clever organisation and making the most of what you have.
As time has passed, I'm blessed to have my own sewing studio, and I've poured a great deal of love into making it a beautiful, comfortable and productive place. With plants, handmade treasures, favourite tools and everything organised where I can find it, it's a wonderful haven that nourishes my soul.
But I've learned that a sewing sanctuary isn't about how much space you have. It's about what you make of it.
Whether you're sewing at the kitchen table, in a corner of your living room or in a dedicated studio, you can create a beautiful, welcoming space that makes sitting down to sew a pleasure.
That's the heart of the Sewing Sanctuary collection. Through handmade sewing organisers, clever storage solutions, decorating ideas, practical organising strategies and comforting creative rituals, I want to help you make the very best of the space you have.
Because when your tools are ready, your projects are organised and your sewing space is somewhere you love to be, it's so much easier to enjoy the wonderful work of making.
Let's create a sanctuary where your handmade home can begin.
