About me

I am a WAHM to three beautiful children and I have a passion for fabric and design. I started making out of necessity when I had my now very active Five year old as I wanted handmade, quality items in bright, contemporary and unique prints at affordable prices. I couldn't find them so I started making them myself.

Voucher giveaway winner

The winner of the £15 voucher for Carrie's Crafts has been drawn and the winner is .....

Happy Mum (post below!)

Huge congrats and I look forward to hearing how you would like to spend your Voucher!  Thanks everyone for taking part and look out for more competitions in the future!


I love your designs! It is so nice to see some lovely fabrics for boys - I am getting quite tired of having to walk through miles and miles of girls clothes to get to the tiny and uninspired boys section in the shops! Really good to see some original and unusual stuff!
Happy Mum xx

Thanks to everyone who entered the comp to win the knitted rex...lots of fab name suggestions!

Katie Adams with her post

Emily, who's one and can't talk yet, pointed at the dinosaur and giggled. Not sure what that means name wise, but I think we'd call the handsome chap "Malcolm - King of Dinos, slayer of veggie-saurua, chomper of bones, maker of great roars and master of funny walks with silly arms" :-) Katie Adams x

please contact me via email at carriescrafts01@yahoo.co.uk to confirm.  Thanks Katie!
