DIY Support
"When you give a homemade gift, you are giving a part of yourself to the recipient. You can't do that with a mass-produced item."

Helping You Succeed In Your DIY Project
Are you the independent DIY sort? Do you love that wonderful feeling of creating your own very personal and meaningful touches? Then let me help you to ensure your success.
Whilst DIY is deeply satisfying, it can also be really stressful, time-consuming and surprisingly expensive! What starts out as a fun project can all too easily become a fraught race against the clock.
I have extensive training and years of experience in embroidery, textile art, soft-furnishings and stitched accessories. I've also made countless costumes and props, including theatre and film work. You can trust me to be there by your side.
I can help you by providing two DIY Support services. Both will let you focus on the fun stuff!
