I'm a self-taught Textile Artist, and I specialise in small scale Freemotion Applique and Embroidery. Over the course of 12 years I've practiced and perfected and love what I do, but for me it's about more than the sewing - it's about refining the products I make right from the initial design. Finding efficiencies, the organisation and practices that make this a business rather than a hobby.

I look forward to making something beautiful for you soon.

In May 2021 I moved The Fernery into a purpose built home studio, in the garden of our 'Forever Home' in Sussex. The dining room served me well for over a decade, and was perfect when we had toddlers, but with teenagers in the house we desperately needed to reclaim that space.

The state I've left the dining room in is another story all together, and one we'll be working on for some time to come still...

I've been sending entirely plastic free parcels to my customers since 2018, so you can shop confidently knowing just how your order will arrive. From the FSC Certified boxes I carefully source from a local small business, to the tissue paper and card I wrap my products in - even the ribbon and stickers will happily biodegrade. I promise not to send you any unneccessary paperwork - you'll receive your order receipt and shipping note via email though, should you need them.
