Bybettyblue has evolved over the last 3 years. My first glorious blue floral has become my signature design reminding me of the deep blue Agapanthus flowers that fill every hedgerow and garden of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Then Storm, Sunrise and the greens & now blues of Ocean Waves. The fabulous 1970’s floral was bought as a roll of bark cloth as curtains for our campervan Betty Blue but needed to be seen and so became the happy Lowen. I have added a Velcro tab to fasten those Blou Robe sleeves, wide for easy changing and a zip guard to keep out the wind and rain.

Support from Outset Cornwall helped me establish a business from a hobby and a Cornwall Small Buiness Grant allowed me to replace my sturdy old machines with industrial workhorses which fly!

My sewing room has gone from kitchen table to one of my grown and flown’s old bedrooms, but since our forever house move and ongoing renovations I am temporarily in the hall! Being part of the inspirational, supportive, creative community Cornwall Shop Small I have traded at local markets, fabulous festivals & even a pop up shop.

Looking forward to what each season will bring.
