Type of work
Hand mending
Overview
I visibly mend all manner of textiles, using reclaimed materials. I am the author of "Mending Clothes as an Act of Rebellion". Keeping much loved textiles in use through repair is a key part of my creative work.

Details
My work is very much about breathing new life into old stuff. I have an Etsy shop for my makes (patchwork, hand knits etc), I create patterns on PayHip, I write and I illustrate. But oh, how my heart sings for a good sock darn, and a pretty patch!
