I like to be surrounded by fabric, buttons, ribbons and anything girlie.
My workroom is usually in a "creative state".
Other people call it "a mess".

Sue

Sue quite often does the hand-sewing on projects (mainly because Emma detests hand-sewing!)

I can't wait for the warm weather to come so I can do all this hand-sewing outdoors!

jellybelly*jellybrain was formed just over 4 years ago by Emma Canham, who (by her own admission) was left with a jellybelly and a jellybrain after her son was born 6 years ago.

Her first project was to make him a PE bag when he started pre-school that would be easy for him to recognise as his own. The end result () led to other parents asking where it had come from and a few orders were placed.

From that modest start, jellybelly*jellybrain now has a wide product range catering for both children and adults who like a bit of funkiness in their life!

We're making steps to form alliances with other like-minded sellers and hope to expand the range of gorgeous handmade products available to buy through the jellybelly*jellybrain website.
