I love to sew and have been sewing for fun for a long time.
I used to hand sew everything, but now have a sewing machine!
 I also sometimes have stalls selling my plushies
and other crafts.


- I sew most of the items on a sewing machine, so the main body, the lace details and bits like that.

- The snaps + fasteners are always finished by hand this way I can make sure they are secure.

- I also do the little details like buttons and bows by hand + I fold my own bows.

- I use an array of threads - so will always have a thread that matches your fabric ready to use.

- My favorite fabric to work with is printed cotton.
- I buy a lot of my fabrics from Japan, china, other parts of Asia, America + lots of other places - so I always have a nice array of fabrics.

- Sometimes I have fabrics not pictured, so if you
can't see anything you like, you are always welcome to ask me what else I have!

- Your item will be posted safely in a cello pouch + envelope I use cute sticky tape, and include a personal thankyou note on cute paper - if you buy a small doll item it will come on a tiny coat hanger.

- When buying items from my site, please be aware
they are not factory made, so there can be imperfections.
I have been drawing cartoons for as long as I can remember and started to get more influenced by anime when I was around 10.
I have studied art and multimedia design.

- I mostly work digitally but usualy draw a pencil sketch first then scan it and work with the lines.
