Welcome to our Folksy store.
Here you will find a range of embroidery and felt sewing kits as well as specialist embroidery threads.
We are also artisan silk flower makers, used by couture designers worldwide.
Many of our items make fantastic gifts and we ship worldwide.
The majority of our items, such as silk flowers are all hand crafted to order and the max dispatch time reflects production time. Please note that we cannot speed up this process so a minimum of 3-5 working days are required. Orders over 200 pieces may take longer and a custom order will need to be requested.

I inherited a rich knowledge of hand embroidery passed down through the family which was enhanced with training from some of the worlds major embroidery schools.
I specialise in hand embroidery and Irish needle lace techniques, providing couture pieces for special events and costume for stage and screen.
My silk flowers, petals and embellishments are created using traditional Japanese Somebana techniques. These are used by Couture designers and costumiers around the world.
Everything is hand crafted using traditional and modern techniques. Whether creating new embroideries, planning courses, making silk flowers or creating designs, attention to detail and the highest standard is paramount.
Where possible, I source supplies locally from the UK and Ireland. Always with a view to the environment, sustainability and a care for the labour and skill of those involved. I am a member of the Heritage Crafts Association.
We are very flexible when it comes to customisation, so if you need anything in a particular colour or design we will always be happy to help. Just message us with your request.
