Meet the maker

My name is Grace and I am the contemporary textile designer behind Once Upon a Time in the North. I use my skills in sewing and applique to make a range of fun and functional products from unique lavender pillows, brighty coloured bunting, cute pin cushions and key charms.

My creations are fuelled by a passion for beautiful fabrics and an obsession with colour and order. Buttons and trims feature heavily in the composition of my work alongside motifs of birds and the nostalgic images of Russian dolls.

Please appreciate that I am a craftsperson and my products are handmade which take care and time .

I run www.onceuponatimeinthenorth.com with my very good friend Julie. We print your lovely unique photographs onto canvas, thus adding to the personal touches of your home. This is a modern and handmade product.

Because I live in a village I make every effort to support my local posty, therefore I post my items on Monday, Wednesday and Friday- always first class!!
