The Handmade Closet was born back in 2017 when our family finances were challenged and I found myself unhappy when I looked into my closet, with my current clothing status. With little money and a desire to open my closet and feel happy everyday I began what I called then …. My Year of Making. I set myself a personal challenge to make from scratch anything that I identified I needed (or wanted).

I started with a leather tote bag, which I hand stitched using a twin needle technique I’d learnt many moons ago… and it didn’t take long before I was dusting off the cobwebs of my sewing machine and slowly but surely creating a clothing collection which is now almost 90% made my me.
