About This Collection:
I've been home on maternity leave, away from my studio - my clay and my woodworking tools, with just a box of treasured fabrics I've collected over the years (and my baby of course!). I started making little soft squishy things for my Juni from these fabrics and that brought me right back to my own childhood, and the soft squishy things my Mum and Grandma made for me.
The process of building joyful colour palettes from these fabrics, bringing little characters to life from sketches, and then the slow, meditative process of stitching them together has kept me sane through the difficult, sleep-deprived days of early parenthood.
10 months in, as I start to find my way back to 'working', I'm finding myself still drawn to this method of making and have loved having the ETA Show as a reason to create!
