Based in the beautiful city of Bath, UK.
I spend most of my life sewing :) Especially blackwork and other embroidery for historical reenactment. I make my own historically accurate outfits for wear at events.
Fascinated by the Tudors & Vikings. I have taken part in Kentwell Hall's Annual Tudor Recreation, as well as giving blackwork & embroidery presentations at numerous interpretive events across the country.
I sell custom blackwork to order. I try to use materials that are authentic as possible, so all blackwork is made using 100% silk thread, on linen fabrics, as well as using authentic patterns.
I can also make custom cross stitch pieces and cards. Please contact me if interested :)
