About A little world of my own

A little world of my own

Self taught textile artist, letting my imagination run wild!

I'm Mandy, from a village by the sea, in West Sussex, England. My love of sewing began as a child, my Mum was always sewing, either soft toys or dolls clothes, and clothes for me when I was little.

I'm a self-taught textile artist taking my inspiration from nature, mostly my local woodlands and the seaside.

When creating a project I use a mix of my own photography, and/or my imagination.

The 'ingredients'(!) I like to use when creating my work is a collection of vintage textiles, hand dyed and vintage threads and fabric, as well as found items.

I am lucky to have a small (but perfectly formed) sewing room which is full of my crafting supplies along with some of my favourite treasures, vintage toys,books and decor that makes me smile.

I love photography, walking in woodlands and along the seashore, visiting National Trust properties and stitching!

We have two cats, Molly and Murphy who we adopted from our local rescue centre.
