After having my daughter, I struggled with postnatal depression and the constant noise of new-mum worries. I needed something to focus on — something that felt calm and creative — and I found embroidery.
What started as a way to steady my mind quickly became something more when family and friends commented on how good I was at it! I began stitching onto gently pre-loved cardigans, jumpers and denim jackets, wanting to create personalised pieces that were both sustainable and genuinely affordable (I remember the struggles of maternity pay far too clearly).
When I connected with Shelli at Herts loves, and realised how closely our values aligned, everything clicked. Are You Thready For This? was born.
I now create personalised, hand-embroidered pieces for small humans with big style — thoughtful, wearable and made without the designer price tag!!!
Come and see me on the 22nd and we can work together to create something beautiful!

I can embroider, just like Jodie, but I have neither the beauty, the skill or the patience that she does - her creations are truly stunning and I am so happy she is joining us again to share more of that with you all at in just a couple of weeks!
