I always wanted to learn to sew, my grandparents were tailors and seamstresses. So I did an evening course in 2014 and absolutely loved it. I took monkey with me and learnt how to draft and make a pattern to make him a hoodie out of some fox print fleece fabric 😂 #sewing #handmade #monkey

Rolling with the punches of grief at the moment, and saying goodbye to one of our favourite people on Wednesday. Missing my closest friend terribly 😥 #grief #imissyou

Morning! Bit windy out there #stormbert

This is the first zip bag I made, made during an evening course to learn how to sew in 2017. It was a men’s shirt bought in a charity shop. I love the print, and love the bag, despite its imperfections. I keep all my sewing pins, scissors, tape measure in it #sewing #handmade #zipbag #crafting

This is a king sized multicoloured king size crochet granny square blanket I made in 2014! #crochet #crocheter #handmade #crafter

Hello, I’m a much loved Monkey called Monkey. I love a nice cup of tea, toast, sewing and going on adventures. I’m the comfort and sunshine that helps counter the down days of type 1 diabetes, an expert insulin pump operator, crisp eater and general all round genius! 🐒 #nicetomeetyou #hello #hi
