I make textile accessories - soft, squashy fabric bags and fabric jewellery. My main income comes from bespoke dressmaking, and that leaves me with wee off-cuts of beautiful fabrics. These are too good to waste, so I developed a way to use them. I piece them together to make one of a kind fabric lengths and then use these panels to make my bags and jewellery designs. It’s a lovely way to use teeny pieces of often very expensive fabrics. I mix these with purchased fabrics to sew my own bag designs.
I studied at the Scottish College of Textiles, graduating in 1990, and worked as a commercial product designer until early 2006, when I set up my own dressmaking business, Bluebell Design. I’ve been sewing and textile crafting on an almost daily basis my entire life, one way or another.
I was thrilled to be invited to present my work to the buyers at Liberty of London, and whilst I didn't get through to the final selection, I live in hope that one day my wee bags will sit on their shelves.

Beautifully made, delicate and robust at the same time.

Lovely fabrics, and well made. Bought as birthday presents but sorely tempted to keep them myself.
