A sustainable sewing studio based in Market Harborough, UK

I offer a range of handmade, sustainable, and zero-waste products that are designed to reduce waste and help you live a more eco-friendly lifestyle. My products are made from sustainable fabrics, such as hemp, linen, and organic cotton, to ensure that they are not only environmentally friendly but also long-lasting and durable.

Utilising my fabric waste, I also use hand-sewing and quilting techniques to piece together each product, resulting in beautiful, one-of-a-kind creations that you won't find anywhere else.

Sustainable Fabrics

I only use natural fabrics, with organic cotton thread, so at the end of their life, our products fully biodegrade.

The linen is woven in an Oeko-Tex certified mill, run on green energy. It's stain resistant, naturally anti-fungal & anti-bacterial.

Hemp doesn't require harmful pesticides or fertilisers in the growing process. Requiring only a fifth of water that cotton requires to grow, the plants also leave the soil in better condition, enriching the land.

Plastic-free Packaging

I don't use any plastic in my packaging, instead, orders are shipped in card envelopes that can easily be reused, recycled, or composted (shred and soak in water first).

Individual products are packaged in a recycled paper wrapper, secured with paper tape.

My woven labels are made from 100% organic cotton, printed with vegetable inks.

With all of the packaging sourced from and made in the UK, my commitment to sustainability goes across the business.

Fabric Waste

Nothing is wasted here, every scrap of fabric is saved as I'm always finding ways to use it up, thus avoiding landfill.

Offcuts from larger products are used to cut and make smaller products, the tiny scraps leftover are saved for fabric garlands.

Selvedge lengths have recently been used by another local business to crochet baskets.
