Sam's House  Keepsakes & Collectibles

Hi I'm Sam,
a compulsive creative who loves to sew and teach others how to with equal passion and 
I have been making things since my first Barbie ballgown took shape when I was about 8.
I have attended craft fairs for many years and whilst my actual handcrafted products have changed direction slightly, I still love the 
atmosphere and camaraderie of events.

Today, I create memory keepsakes,
hold children's sewing workshops and
have an online sewing membership
where I am the queen of simplified sewing. 
I also teach in a primary school for 2 days a week.
I work at home and I genuinely think
I have the two best jobs in the world. 
The first, gives me quiet and solitude, the second means I get to spend time in a world full of childish wonder, noise and hilarity.  I can't imagine not having that balance anymore. 
Creating keepsakes is similarly balanced.
I meet people who are struggling with the loss of loved ones and people who are celebrating their children's first years and school milestones. The sentimental keepsakes I create for you are as different and unique as you, your family and your life. 

I pride myself on working thoughtfully with your clothes and always being aware of the courage it can take to part with your precious belongings.
I become very invested in your story and the stories that your clothes tell and I hope this shows in every stitch that captures your memories. 
To date, I have created over 600 keepsakes and feel privileged to have played a part in every one
 
    love
