hello and welcome to max, ollie and me


Welcome to max, ollie and me,

Since being a small child i have been obsessed with everything to do with sewing and textiles. I have lots of fond memories of playing with my mums button tin during the school holidays and spending hours sorting out all the buttons, old zips and many other items. Every time i opened that tin it was like finding treasure again and again. In fact my great nan, nan and mum have all passed down these button tins to me now. They are some of my most treasured items. I try not to open my great nan's tin to often as she is no longer with us, but her familiar comforting scent is still held among all her buttons and odds and ends.

These are the women in my life who have inspired me to continue to use such loved and passed down skills. 

Every stitch i sew into my work is sewn with love!
