Hi, I'm Helen. I'm an ex-scientist and born-again designer-maker with an overwhelming passion for fabrics. I love the design process of combining textures, colours and patterns to create something beautiful and yet functional. I have a small studio, but I generally tend to work at my large dining table, which is usually buried under mountains of fabric, haberdashery, work in progress and my much-loved sewing machine.
I'm inspired by things that I have a personal fondness for. I love nature and many of my designs feature flowers, trees, birds, animals and fungi - I often feature mushrooms in my designs. As a land-locked Midlander, I have a long-felt yearning for the sea and I enjoy creating coastal designs. These often feature beach huts, which I'm particularly fond of. Ever since I was very small I've loved Russian dolls and I occasionally feature them in my work. I designed my logo around one of my Russian doll appliqué designs. I love shabby chic and rustic styles and I use a lot of pretty floral-print fabrics in my work. Texture plays a big part in my designs and I often incorporate fabrics with textured patterns and surfaces. I like to use hessian to give a rustic touch. Many of my designs feature fabric appliqué motifs which I make myself. They are edged with machine embroidery using satin stitch or zig-zag stitch on a fairly basic sewing machine. The appliqué designs are often embellished with sequins, buttons or hand embroidery.
As well as selling through my Folksy shop, I also exhibit at craft fairs in and around the Midlands (I am based in South Derbyshire). I accept orders for commissioned pieces, as long as I feel that the request fits in with my style.
Designing and making is my passion and I hope that the items that I am inspired to create bring as much joy to others as they do to me.

These coiled bowls are perfect for keeping trinkets and storing daily used jewellery. The coin purses are super cute. Extremely well made items and speedy delivery. I have bought from Pocketful before and I’m sure I will again.
