Over the years I have made bridesmaid dresses, christening robes, fancy dress costumes and even a suit for an interview. As my children have grown their needs have changed to outfits they have seen on instagram that just had to be made, reusable make up wipes and even my own daughters prom dress

Bags and bunting were my thing when i first began selling, but once lockdown hit our lives changed and the UK were furloughed I became part of the Cornwall team of sewers making Scrubs for the NHS. We were lucky in Cornwall - the sun shone and we could go outside and so I sewed and swam. As summer turned to Autumn the sea got colder but we all still swam. The beaches swarmed with big black branded matching changing robes. And so fabric was sourced, I played with designs, details, functionality and fastenings and the Blou Robe was born.
