I make things from materials that would otherwise go to waste

Hi! I'm Bethany, aka Big Bumbling Bee. I love to make things from stuff that would otherwise be wasted - I have a particular fondness for saving new materials that are heading for the bin - yarn that's been in my stash for too long, leftover fabric from a top I've made, fabrics that people have given to me or deadstock, remnants and ends of rolls. I also love making things so much that I have run out of places to put them. It turns out you only need one quilt for each bed in the house and wardrobes fill up with jumpers really quickly, so this shop is an outlet for my crafty creativity. I donate all of the profits from my shop to homelessness charities in the UK.
