Laura Long

South London

We all have moments that we cherish forever. Stories we were told and childhood games we played.

Each delightful knitted and hand sewn gift I create is inspired by youth and designed to bring back nostalgic memories of happy times.

As we get older new and important moments are created such as a Wedding, a Birthday, a Christening and family celebrations. The products I make are designed to remind us of all these moments.

Each gift has a history and a story to tell.

I carefully hand make every item so products can be altered and designed especially for you.

The story behind the business
Meet Laura Long

Brought up in Brighton, dressed in jumpers made by my grandmother, I developed a love for traditional crafts and hand knitting from an early age. It is a passion that has remained with me to this day. I now have two young children who both love handmade toys.

From the complex techniques of lace making and the traditional knots of Aran knitting, to the old toys I found in my grandmother's house, it is the fascinating stories and history behind each piece that continues to inspire my collections.

Using vintage fabrics and hand stitched detailing, I have created a collection of gifts to be treasured for generations to come. I also offer a bespoke service. Working closely with clients I can match a doll's outfit to a particular occasion, creating miniature versions of a bridal party, Christening gown, birthday dress or any outfit of their choosing.

I love to bring children's drawings to life. Using found materials, print, knit and hand embroidery, I create a true likeness of the original artwork and transform it into a decoration, doll or framed piece.

In essence, I get to make tiny, hand stitched clothes and gifts for a living and bring to life the fairy tales of my childhood and the personal stories of my clients in miniature – isn't that every girl's dream job?
