Growing up I never considered myself as being creative. I hated handwriting so didn’t do well in creative writing. I wasn’t great at drawing (still not!) so didn’t do well in art classes. In Home Economics I made a sewn toy clown that to this day haunts me.

Skip to my early thirties and I had done some jewellery and card making classes with friends and all of a sudden realised I actually really enjoy making! I wasn’t great but I loved the process. So I took up sewing and loved it. I loved the process, the problem solving when something didn’t work out quite right and the satisfaction of making something someone will love.

I have come to realise how important being creative is to my mental health and how it shouldn’t just be for the naturally talented. Everyone should have a chance to build their creative muscles and feel the benefits. So I have set up Make it Fab – a creative studio for all abilities!

So come on, on in and discover your creative side!
