Crafty Sew & Sew By Marion

Handmade Fabric Creations and Unique Personalised and Inspirational Gifts and Treasured Keepsakes for any Occasion and the Home.

Thank you for your interest in Crafty Sew & Sew by Marion and welcome to my Facebook page. I hope you like what you see and please send me a message to ask a question about one of my fabric creations, place a bespoke order, purchase from my available stock or just simply to say hello.

I pride myself on making any item with care to the highest standard and everything is superbly hand-finished – I only use high quality fabrics, some even uniquely designed for me. I can use a variety of sewing techniques including patchwork, applique, embroidery and quilting. Personalised Items are very popular.

So what do I make…. .

almost anything that can be made from fabric, there are too many items to list individually as I try to make each creation different from the next (unless it is a bulk order…), so I have attempted to categorise them, and later I will detail more specifics with a photo of the item, wherever possible.

Whilst I often make inspirational gifts or home décor solutions on commission, I do have several of my popular lines in stock as I take them to local Craft Fairs and my creations are available to buy from my Facebook page, therefore, you do not always have to wait for a bespoke order to be made. However, if you cannot find your perfect colour choice or design from my available stock, I am also happy to design and create a special bespoke item just for you.
