About Me

I love the Crafty Hen workshops. There is always at least one person who feels that they “absolutely won’t be able to do it ever!” and every single time, it ends up looking totally brilliant. It's amazing seeing people's confidence rise when they finish their creation!

My Favourite Things

I love collecting old tat. Be it a old weird gravy jug or (another) vintage sewing machine.

My Area of Expertise

Textiles. I turn old fabrics and clothing into beautiful wall hangings using freemotion embroidery. I love watching something new come from something tired and old. I also love seeing the memories that people hold in clothes, being made into art.

Favourite Session

Flower Crowns (though I do love them all!)

Area Covered

Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, Hereford, Paincastle, Pensham, Ross-on-Wye, Tewkesbury, Worcester, Leominster, Hay-on-Wye, Ledbury, Ludlow

Very chilled and lovely atmosphere created by Rachel. Plenty of advice and help given when we needed it!
