The Busy Sewing Room

The Busy Sewing Room Handmade handbags, purses and accessories. If you are interested in any of my makes, just message me. Hello, I'm Ulrike. I sit at my sewing machine most days.

I live with my little family in East Yorkshire. I'm originally from Germany and moved to the UK in 2003 when I met my husband. We have three children who keep me very busy. I have always been a crafty person and probably inherited that trait from my mum. She was a very talented knitter, crocheter and seamstress, making most of our clothes herself when we were little. I never got on with knitting o

r crochet, but love paper crafts and then started sewing after my youngest was born. I started out making clothes and toys for him. Then, in 2015, I discovered bag making and I absolutely love it! When I'm not sewing I love cooking, baking and gardening. I'm also a big coffee addict and always have a cuppa on hand. If you are interested in any of my makes, just pop me a message. Custom orders most welcome!

Good morning.

It's been a bit of a mixed week so far, weatherwise as well as sewing-wise. But the next bank holiday weekend is ahead of us and the forecast is looking fabulous 😎

Good morning.

I've had great fun with the Spring Bag Making Challenge by last week. I now have 3 version of the cute Valina design - the original crossbody version (yellow), a toiletry bag (pink) and a mini pouch (blue).

This week, I'm planning to work on some new designs. I have two new patterns on my table today. Hopefully, I'll get them both finished today.

Have a great day.

Something pretty to end the day 🎀It would make a cute bag charm, don't you think?
