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!

Japanese Sashiko Sampler: Kuguri Sashi / Kikkoh Hanasashi
Sewn with Sashiko thread in the mid century modern retro colours of brown, orange and yellow. I collect mid century modern pottery from the former East and West Germany…as it was before the Wall came down. But mid century modern was also heavily practiced in Japan with some stunning pottery results which I also collect particularly from the Otagiri Studio etc. So this sampler which will be turned into a stunning orange cushion decorative panel will pick up on that vibe.
