Meet the Maker – Sew n Sow

5 minutes with/ Handmade business/ Introducing/ Meet The Maker
Meet the Maker at Handmade Kids

Tell us a little about you and your business.

I’m a mother to two beautiful girls and wife to ‘Mr Sow’, the gardener-by-day half of Sew n Sow. I have loved sewing ever since the age of 7, starting by my mothers side and on my Holly Hobbie sewing machine! Sew n Sow combines my love of sewing with our family love of being outdoors together. I make sun hats for all the family and other accessories for enjoying the outdoors.

 

What do you love about your creative business?

I love all aspects of sewing and adore working with bright and colourful quality fabrics. Seeing my creations being worn and enjoyed by others, especially seeing families protected from the sun in my hats is extremely gratifying.

 

What is your favourite thing to create?

My favourite thing to create is sunhats “ we all need them, and I love being able to provide the highest quality hats that wash and wear well, in designs that reflect the individuality of the wearers.

5 Tips to Organise your Craft Room

It’s that one space in your house where you can let your creative imagination run wild! A room full of  half finished projects scattered around, piles of craft supplies waiting to be whipped up into something special and ideas for future projects splayed across the wall with sticky post-it notes.

This is the room for creative mess, but it wouldn’t it be great if that mess was somewhat organised so there was actually space to start those projects you have been wanting to create.
