Creative Stitching aka Alyson

​What do you make?
I make all sorts of items from fabric such as embroidered cards, tissue holders, purses, phone cases, peg bags, tote bags, Advent Calendars, Christmas stockings and many more!

What inspires you?
The beautiful fabric, their colours and designs.
​
How did you begin your making journey?
I've always loved sewing. I started making things to fundraise for a support group that we had set up to help families with autistic children. 
We arranged days out, coffee mornings etc and also arranged meetings with the local authority to provide suitable education for our children as there was no provision at the time within the borough.
​
What is your favourite thing to make?
I love making the Advent Calendars.

Do you ever have crafting disasters?
Spending time making an item only to melt it as the iron was too hot!

If you had a crafting wish, what would it be?
To have huge workroom with everything set out and loads and loads of fabric neatly stacked on shelves!

We sell a wide variety of homemade items created by our artisans, both in our shop in Centre Court Shopping Centre in Wimbledon and online. To keep our shop running, our artisans volunteer their time in the shop. Details of what you can do to help can be discussed.

Our artisans also donate a small percentage of sales to the project in order for us to continue to support young people with learning or physical disabilities, mental health or confidence issues to gain work experience and skills.
