About Handmade by Kath

Handmade by Kath

Welcome to 'Handmade by Kath' - selling cards and gifts handmade in Devon.

My mum taught me to knit and sew when I was very young and I've always loved making things. I've tried various crafts over the years including cross stitch, crewel embroidery, dressmaking, knitting, macrame, papercrafts, patchwork, pottery, sugarcraft and woodwork - some with more success than others!

I craft as a hobby and enjoy making cards to send to family and friends, as well as entering card making blog challenges. I have also rekindled my love for cross stitch and enjoy stitching small designs when we're away on our campervan 'adventures'. I make far too many cards to send myself, so now sell some of my cards and crafts on Folksy. Although my cards are inexpensive they are all made from high quality materials.

I try to make my crafting as eco friendly as possible. I collect anything I think I can upcycle as I hate to see anything go into the waste bin. I have an ever growing box of 'snippets' - small pieces of paper and card left over from other projects as well as ribbons and buttons that may come in useful 'one day'. I also enjoy looking around charity shops to see if I can breathe new life into something that someone else doesn't want.

All of my cards are stored in biodegradeable cello bags and are posted in card backed envelopes that are recycled and recyclable so everything will arrive in perfect condition.
