high seas adventures ahoy!
This little pirate is planning some adventures.
Come November, I am packing up my life (by which I mean packing some clothes and my sewing machine) and doing what I should have done 10 years ago. Leaving this claustrophobic town to stretch my wings and see what is possible in the big wide world.
Davy Jones' Overlocker will be creating from London and gathering inspiration from Morocco and Spain and Pompeii and Berlin. The grey drizzle will inspire me to brighten my life with new and bright and shiny creations.
And If I come back, it will be to create.
It's a rashly made decision but a good one.

Davy Jones' Overlocker
I like pirates and I like making stuff. I was taught to sew and knit as soon as my fingers could hold the needles. It was a way of keeping me out of trouble. It was suggested that I become an engineer, so I went to see what that meant. I did a fashion degree. I did a physics degree. Now I get crafty to keep my sanity from my day job. It almost works. Here's some of the stuff I make. I also make things for other people. If you want me to make you stuff, email me.
