Handmade Days in Orkney Where Sewing, Music & Memories Come Alive

Experience the simple magic of an Orkney summer, as seen through blooming wildflowers and the beauty of the islands. This episode captures the essence of nature lovers with a cozy sewing project and shares some sewing tips. Join me in celebrating the Orkney islands dream!

In this gentle summer episode, I’m sewing curtains and stitching seat covers for a peedie caravan — a job that started with my sewing machine and ended with hand stitching at the kitchen table! Wildflowers are blooming in the sunshine, we’re picking strawberries, and I’ve even written a few new songs to celebrate it all.

This week also marks two years since we lost my Mum, and I’ve finally finished the Memorial Poem I wrote for her — now set to music and included in a new playlist of original songs, which you’ll find linked at the end of the video. I hope it brings comfort and beauty to those who need it. 💗

🧵 Watch for:
• Peedie caravan curtain sewing
• Summer wildflower scenes
• Original songs: “Happy Valley Mayfly” and more
• A heartfelt tribute to my Mum
• News of upcoming knitting projects too

☀️ Subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next — I’ll be back on my sofa soon with more handmade things to share.

Much love from Orkney,
