Julie Bygrave


What do you make?
I make beautiful hand knitted/crafted baby and children's items. As a child, I would sit happily listening to my Nan as she patiently taught me how to knit, little did she know what I would end up doing with these new skills!

How did you begin your making journey?
​This part of my adventure in my life started with a friend saying that I should take this creative aspect to a new level and so the adventure began. I could never have guessed where it would and has led me to.  Some of my friends would say that they are stunned by the items....I would say that my making takes me into a land of blue skies and bright rainbows. My relaxing me time.
Do you ever have crafting disasters?
I haven't had any major disasters as yet, except for maybe not concentrating 100% of the time and having to unpick a couple of rows, other people say they can't see anything wrong but I do! I do have one mystery mind, I don't know if you have the answer....why is it when the wool is about to run out...why do we knit quicker so that it doesn't?

If you had a crafting wish, what would it be
Yes. I would love a team of fairies to come at night and sew up cardigans.....yes please, do send them my way if you ever see one!

​Our special team of artisans are often described as a family of craft loving, community friendly people. We are proud of our team, whose talents shine through in their craft and their obvious passion for helping others.
​ 

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.
