My mum was always sewing, often out of necessity but also because she loved it and I suppose I was always going to follow in her footsteps. At senior school, I had the most amazing needlework teacher, who drilled us mercilessly in technique, but allowed us to rebel just enough to develop our own style. I think my love of fabric began when she took us to Liberty and John Lewis in London to buy our fabric for A level - she was insisting on pure wool but I managed to talk her round and came home with the most gorgeous cream Treveira!
As well as sewing for my Folksy shop, I make things to sell at a community market and use my skills to help various charities.
In my shop you will find things that I have been making for years, like my heart decorations and peg bags, but I'm always trying new things too, so you never know what you might find. Usually a fabric will inspire the make, not the other way round, and my fabrics come from various sources. Sometimes I use reclaimed fabric or salvaged embroidery, and if this is the case, I will point this out in the listing.
I would love you to visit my Facebook page, also called Plum Porridge, mostly about sewing but sometimes about life here in Derbyshire.

This is my 3rd book pencil case from Plum Porridge and no doubt it won’t be my last! I’m over the moon with my purchase, beautifully made as always and very practical. Dispatched and delivered very quickly, also beautifully packaged. Thank you!
