About ME!

 Hi everyone! I’m Sarah!

Thank you so much for joining me here!

I started my little business whilst on furlough during lockdown. My anxiety was through the roof and I really needed some focus and structure  to my days. I needed a hobby that would give me a purpose and I had always sewn and crafted while growing up, but hadn’t done anything for years! And so I decided to start sewing again and loved the idea of creating gifts and cards for people using hand and machine sewing.

My hubby bought me a new machine and I started to practice again, quickly moving on to free motion sewing and just got completely hooked! I started to make greeting cards for family and friends and my little business quickly grew. I began to stock in a few different shops, sell through my social media accounts, at Artisan markets and on Etsy. Over the last 10 months or so my sewing has had to take a backseat as the Workshop side of my business has taken over so much! I’m so thrilled to now be offering workshops with the focus on how much being creative can really help in combatting stress through mindfulness practice.. I am passionate about showing people of all ages how even a short time concentrating on making something lovely can really help you to unwind and de-stress.

In my new venture The Haven, above Leek Wow Hub, Leek I intend to bring people together to learn new things, to mingle with like minded people and to leave feeling a little bit happier whatever their ability! I now can get to offer Creative sessions to children of different ages and now have access to more space that enables me to hold Creative parties which I love to do!

I believe in Process Art and Creativity where the journey of creating is just as important as the end result and I fully believe in the saying ‘Busy Hands, Calm Mind’. 

I also now run sessions at different Venues through Staffordshire and surrounding areas. These are Workshops that cater for people of all skill levels and aim to bring them together to create, sip, eat and socialise, all in one place!

I truly believe that my sewing and my little business saved me from being really poorly during lockdown. In addition to this, in 2023 I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue syndrome and being creative plays a huge part in helping me adjust to a new pace of life by allowing me to be creative and mindful everyday. I can’t wait to share this passion for creating with you all!
