First of 8 panels of 50cm x 150cm each of a Japanese Boro and Sashiko inspired quilt cover. I used Japanese cottons and scrap materials from my off-cuts stash. Upcycling is something I love to do! It’s so satisfying to give a ‘home’ to otherwise useless bits and pieces.
This site is to show off my hobby of creative hand sewing. It has been a love of mine since I was 10 years old. Now, not only is it a very meditative past time, but it also exercises my eye & hand co-ordination after a battle with a huge brain tumour that didn't take my life but it took from me a lot of skills I took for granted. NOTHING ON THIS SITE IS FOR SALE. Items I make are for me, my family, my friends and occasionally, charity. Enjoy!
