Why I’m Stepping Back to Refuel

For me, Clobbr (a play on clobber, meaning clothing) is about taking existing garments and adding to their beauty so they live longer.
I’m deeply drawn to denim—its shades, its durability, and how it frays with its own story. Whether I’m losing myself in the rhythm of hand stitching or using free-motion machine embroidery to “draw” with the needle, my style of slow, freestyle stitching roots me to the garment’s journey. It’s a process filled with love, joy, and intentionality to create something truly unique.

But to pour love and intention into my work, I have to protect my own well-being. You cannot pour from an empty cup.

Right now, my body and brain need to refuel. Mental health is a daily practice of listening to our limits, so I’m taking some time off to focus on mindfulness.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be grounding myself with T’ai Chi, slow walks, family and friends time, and stitching purely for the joy of it.
Just like a favourite piece of denim, we all need a little care and mending to last for the long haul. Take care of yourselves, and I’ll see you all soon! 💙

Please note - Slow Stitch at Riverhead Coffee, Grimsby won’t be on until Sunday 2nd August due to holidays and taking time to rest my brain. Please private message me if you have any questions. See you all soon.

✨ The Art of Slowing Down ✨

There’s something truly magical about the rhythm of a needle passing through fabric. 🧵✨
We had a beautiful morning at for our latest slow stitch session. It was a time to breathe, create, and simply be. Between the incredible playlist, the aroma of fresh coffee, and the warm hum of friendly chat, the vibe was pure replenishment for the soul.
(Full disclosure: the cake was so good I forgot to photograph it! 🍰 You’ll just have to come taste for yourself next time...)

Virgo energy 🤝 Giving myself permission to play. ✨
As a certified overthinker and lover of order, I don’t usually do New Year’s resolutions. But for 2026, I’m trying something radical: Zero. Plans. I’m diving into my stash of beautiful fabrics, vintage threads, and gifted lace trimmings with no end result in mind. No “final product,” no “perfect project”—just pure experimentation and seeing where the needle takes me. 🪡🧵
Consider this my official “Permission Slip to Play.”
What about you? Are you a planner or a “see where it goes” kind of person? I’d love to hear your ideas for creative play! 👇
