Handmade @ Hesketh Emporium
Handmade was created for community – a place where community can become a family.
We aim to teach sewing and craft skills, socialise and reduce isolation. My heart is to make a place where people can have fun, learn new skills and relax and get to know and understand one another better.
I am passionate about passing on my love of sewing and making to others, and to use these skills to make useful creations that are used and gifted to others.
We are back! Covid & Government restrictions dependant of course!

Brother PS-31 – Gifted
This little Brother sewing machine was sent off to a new home yesterday. Amal was incredibly happy to receive it and I am blessed to be able to bless her.
