Meet the maker Caroline Silva

I learnt to craft as a child but recently rediscovered the joy of it when I became a full-time mother! I like to be making something when watching the children play or just relaxing at the end of the day - my husband calls it pottering! I have noticed that when offered a choice children tend to gravitate towards the homemade item which has encouraged me to continue. On Friday evenings we are joined by friends and neighbours, hence 'Friday Club' and it is them who have given me the confidence to show my work. We all agree that it is much nicer to have something that is homemade. I work in a smoke-free home.

If you like what you see but it’s not the right size or colour scheme, please contact me, I may well have some fabric in stock that would suit you – or perhaps you have your own? I love fabric and working out what to do with it is great fun. I use up every little bit so when looking at my shop you will often notice the same fabric in a couple of items.

I usually use the Post Office 1st Class ‘Signed For’ service and I am more than happy to send around the world – let me know and I will find out the price for you. This will be passed on at cost.

All my items listed are in stock and I can usually despatch with 24 hours in a working week.

I am confident that you will really like what you buy but if for some reason you are disappointed and you wish to make a full refund please contact me. You need to let me know within 7 days of receipt and return the item within 14 days unused and with original packaging. Postage is not refunded. For your protection I recommend that you use an insured/track able method of return.

I am learning how to upholster so you may see some of my work here as well. This is really for those of you who live in Central London so that I can personally deliver, or you can collect.

Thanks for looking and please come again soon!
