Meet the maker Louise Miller

My name's Louise and I live in Leicester. Since graduating from university over ten years ago with a degree in English literature and art, I've been looking for ways to indulge my creative streak.

I decided a few years ago to 'borrow' my mum's vintage Singer sewing machine and started out making sock animals. More recently, I have discovered the joys of applique and machine embroidery and I love the freedom that these techniques offer. I can never be sure how a piece is going to turn out until it's finished, and each one is unique. Much as I adore my mum's Singer, I have had to upgrade to a faster machine which gives me more freedom to experiment.

I hope you will enjoy browsing my shop. Please get in touch if you have any questions.
