The days are short and the weather is chilly-what’s the scene like in your home?
I tend to end up with a little nest on the sofa, with a big blanket surrounded by trays filled with the different embroidery projects I have on the go. The fairy lights have been on since the clocks went back and there’s probably a candle or two flickering away. Although I have to have a bright light to help me see my embroidery, which slightly ruins the cosiness! Slowly the house is filling up with Christmas projects that I am preparing for markets and making as gifts.

You run a sewing social club. Can you tell us a bit about sharing your hobby with others?
During lockdown I started an online embroidery community, where every Friday I would run a ‘Live Make-Along’ where my followers and I could all get together virtually to connect, chat and do a bit of stitching too. I started designing projects that people could purchase as digital downloads and I loved seeing all the different ways people would interpret my designs and the various colour palettes they chose. I am currently launching the Sewyeah Social Club Subscription Service, where each month members will receive a new embroidery pattern to make and we will get together via Zoom for a virtual club night. I think it’s going to be so much fun.
