I’m Annabel. I live and work in the beautiful abbey town of Sherborne in Dorset. I have been creating and designing with shibori for 12 years. I delight in the process of hand sewing, it is a meditative practice and the slow stitching of shibori enables me to take life one stitch at a time.

I am fascinated by the wonderful craft of shibori stitch resist and I get great pleasure from exploring new ways of manipulating the fabric to create my latest designs and passing these ideas on to you.

I love to make beautiful things – to improve our home environment, to bring pleasure and add colour to our lives.

I am passionate about introducing others to the delights of shibori stitch resist and enabling them to create their own beautiful patterned fabrics. I do this by designing downloadable patterns, writing my blog, running workshops and making video tutorials. There is nothing so satisfying as creating yourself.
