Items made with care and designed to contribute to a thoughtful lifestyle. Crafted for the person who wants to shop mindfully and build a home that nurtures their family, community and environment.

Why it's a bit different

Nothing here comes off a factory line. Here's what "local and sustainable" actually means, in practice.

I make small batches of home crafted goods, here - in Perth, Western Australia. With my Bernina 930 Record and other crafting tools I make everything from tote bags to knitted beanies.

I keep things small-batch because that's what one person, working by hand, can actually do well. If something you love isn't in stock, just ask — I can usually make more.

Deadstock & offcuts first

I source deadstock and leftover fabric where I can, so good cloth doesn't end up in landfill.

Made locally, by hand

No factories, no overseas shipping for the making itself — every single seam is sewn by me, here in Perth.

Made to last

I'd rather make something you keep for years than something disposable. Simple, sturdy construction, always.
