About Me

I grew up sewing and doing crafts, but it wasn’t until I had the idea to ‘live stitch’ the 2015 General Election results that I got into cross stitch and embroidery. Since then politics has been falling apart and it’s up to you to decide whether that’s my fault or not. Most of the stuff I sew relates to nature, pop culture, manga, queer politics or famous mysteries – I’m also a sucker for a good gimmick.
I live in London with my husband and a neighbourhood cat that doesn’t respect boundaries.
