Hi, I’m Debbie. I’ve been sewing for 40+ years creating anything and everything from clothing for myself and my children, to curtains, soft toys and craft items including my Fern & Honey range of baby items. Sewing has always been a passion of mine – I’m always looking for new projects and have an addiction to fabric!
