About Pipcicle

How I Got Here

I’ve been a creative soul all my life, enjoyed life as an actor, gardener, primary school teacher, arts project coordinator and now small handmade indie maker.

I’ve two children, Pip and Bubs, I started sewing after I had Pip and am entirely self taught. I found a much needed outlet of calm at the helm of the sewing machine.

My distant family were lace makers, think that’s where the creativity comes from. I sew when I can, whilst working part time in education.

Pipcicle started off through gifting pieces I made. It wasn’t until I was asked by recipients to make pieces for them to give as gifts that I thought seriously that my work could be popular.

At Pipcicle I strive to bring a unique and creative spin to the world of embroidery.

All pieces are handmade with love and care, using repurposed fabrics and inspired by my passion for vintage style. I love a charity shop, from my teenage years in the nineties, with finds of velvet jackets and oatmeal cardigans. My goal is to provide our customers with a one-of-a-kind piece that is sure to be enjoyed for many years to come.

I specialise in free-motion embroidery and use only pre-loved fabrics to create unique and one-of-a-kind pieces. Whether you’re looking for a thoughtful gift or a special something for yourself, Pipcicle is sure to provide you with something special.

I love the band Madness, enjoy a tipple of gin and drink copious amounts of tea. My other passion is working with Now and Then Theatre.
