Hello, my name is Sandra. I learned to knit when I was seven and still remember standing in the school playground with knitting needles in my hands and a ball of wool in my pocket. I discovered crochet at twelve, starting with a granny square blanket.

Later, I became interested in visible mending and added the Japanese technique of Sashiko to my darning skills, allowing me to repair a wide range of worn and holey textiles.

I love teaching and sharing my creative skills. Seeing students’ enjoyment when they learn something new is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.

Whenever possible, I use pre-loved materials in both my own work and my classes. My darning and embroidery threads, buttons, knitting needles and some of my yarns are second-hand, which helps me reduce waste, live more sustainably and keep costs down.

I teach crochet, darning and knitting in small classes of up to three (for children 10 and above) or five (for adults). I also offer individual tuition for adults and children 8 years plus at £20 p/h. Children must always be accompanied by a responsible adult.
