About Cupcakes and Butterflies Textiles

Cupcakes and Butterflies Textiles

Eclectic, whimsical, handmade gifts for you, your family and friends and your home.

Hello, and welcome to Cupcakes land!!
I'm Suzie, aka Mrs Cupcakes, and I live with Mr Cupcakes, my hubby Richard and our elderly cat Elliot.
I am lucky enough to live almost next door to the fabulous Caerphilly Castle, an enormous medieval castle which is the largest in Wales.
Sewing has always been a passion for me and I remember being given fabric for Christmas when I was a child, then using my mum's sewing machine to make it into a skirt. Since then I have made lots of my own clothes and also for other family members and friends.
My sewing room is also the dining room which means we mostly eat in the living room except for special occasions
As well as clothes I also like making a wide variety of items and so Cupcakes and Butterflies was born. The fabric I use is usually upcycled/recycled or rescued from various sources. Embroidery, applique and beadwork add a unique touch to each of my products and many of them are complete one offs as I am not able to replicate them. All the handbags are limited editions as I don't usually have enough fabric to make more than three or four of each design.
Recently I have started making earrings. When my daughter turned 21 I decided to make her jewellery based on all the things I love about her, and so the "21" collection was born.
Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoy browsing my products. Don't forget to check back regularly as I will be adding new products as soon as I make them.
Lots of love
Suzie
