Make something you’ll carry with pride
This week, my sewing table will be scattered with fabric scraps, threads, and a cup of tea that will probably go cold while I lose myself in stitching.
What’s inside the bundle
You’ll get six complete courses, each with step-by-step video lessons

  • Japanese Rice Bag course -  Learn simple but beautiful hand stitching to create a one-of-a-kind Komeburko, Japanese Rice Bag. We’ll explore fabric play, running stitch, stem stitch, and finishing techniques that make your piece feel truly special. 

  • Zippered Gusset Purse You'll be making these for everyone! Once you start adding zips to purses your sewing skills expand just that little bit more. Make stand-up purses with a gusset, or a sweet circular shape.

  • 2-Pocket Notebook Pouch Do you need a little book bag to carry your sketch book, journal, or even the story that you're reading right now? This is the pouch you need!

  • KeepSake Roll-up Pouch Learn how to botanically dyed your fabric, then sew it into a perfect little carry-pouch. Use it for sewing or crafting supplies, pencils, paints, sunglasses or carrying your jewellery while on holiday.

  • The Drawstring Bag with Flat Bottom A roomy, practical bag that’s ideal for everyday use or gifting. My daughter keeps her camera in her's, but it's perfect for carrying your daily stitch projects. This course is only available inside my Stitch Membership and this bundle.

Oh hey, I’m ELLIE

I'm a textile artist and creative maker, specialising in working with intuition to create beautiful, special, unique fabric pieces that sing of your own inner whisper.


This cosy of cushions is something fun, yet also a meaningful piece to create with your own hands. Gifting a cushion, or laying your head upon your own handwork has a special feel. 

In my work I find it important to empower you to learn new skills, overcome fears, develop your own creative voice. All my courses lean into this - take my ideas and techniques to create something your way!
a new way of seeing something

I enjoy bringing traditional techniques to you in a new light. 


If you're a complete beginner, my courses are the stepping stone to a new creative textile world. You'll learn embroidery techniques, hand sewing stitches, slow stitching, piecing and joining from the very first stitch, right through to finishing your projects.


More experienced students learn how to break rules, do things with abandon, instinct, intuition, and approach things with a completely different viewpoint.
