Timeless Stitches

I was taught to knit and crochet in the 1960s by my grandmother. In later years I worked as a freelance designer for various London designers. The name Timeless Stitches best described the incredible crochet and knitting learnt from my grandmother.

Recently I have returned to my passion of using vintage and retro jewellery within my textiles. I love to up cycle these into new pieces linking the past and future. Inspiration comes from the piece of jewellery, a vintage box of threads or patterns from a bygone era.

The range Timeless Stitches now enjoys offering the original enterprise, crochet lace flowers, which incorporate the upcycling and reusing of jewellery pieces to make beautiful new flowers. These are stunning  brooch's, posies, or full bridal bouquets.

Timeless Baby developed from my grandmothers pattern boxes with new designs and ideas from modern fibres and some traditional favourites for babies and toddlers.

I passionately believe in recycling and love using some of my grandmother's patterns, from her rather extensive library. From dishcloths to pretty tea cosies with flowers, flannels to current modern-day ideas for make-up removers, her library has them all. This became the Timeless Eco Home range of reusable and long lasting gifts for your home and especially our planet.

I was also intrigued to find she had handbags, market string bags, and a beautiful slouch tulip handbag, along with fingerless gloves and hats. I adore hats and shawl scarves. I had to explore these delights and so Timeless Eras was born.

Surprised to find the pattern I was taught to crochet from in the 1960’s I have continued making her Granny Square Christmas Angels. I have  expanded this seasonal gift into Timeless Christmas range with some quirky and traditional ideas of my own.

Adoring Halloween, especially pumpkins and a love of handmade seasonal decorations a Timeless Halloween range has been developed.

I feel so grateful to my beloved grandmother for sharing her love of crochet and knitting with me.

Always having a basket of yarn beside her inspired the yarn bouquet. She also inspired me to love traditional craft tools and accessories. We used to make stitch markers and crochet hook holders, which I still enjoy making. My husband has used his carpentry skills to design and replicate some of the yarn winders and hook stands which are available from The Supply Shop on Beautifully Handmade UK.

I work in a small Surrey Village in my attic studio, close to the river Wey flood plains, with my two cats usually asleep somewhere nearby.

All the Timeless Stitches ranges offer quality products, using and recycling where possible, vintage, and modern supplies, enabling you to buy with confidence.
