Spotlight on the seller - Our Little Craft Comapny

Our Little Craft Company is the creation of Lisa and Sally, two Yorkshire sisters whose love of all things handmade has motivated us to create a collection of original textile and craft wares of our very own.

We love what we do and are constantly developing are collection, usually inspired by Lisa’s latest fabric find or a forgotten doodle in her sketchbook.  The 2013 range includes new designs of old favourites, retro style shoppers, appliquéd cushions, and beautiful hand stitched accessories along with the irrepressible Yorkshire Voodoo and even more Make Your Own Kits to inspire novice crafters to get stitching with us.

We feel very lucky to be a part of Fabrication, it’s fantastic having an outlet slap bang in the centre of Leeds and the support from Dawn and the other sellers has been amazing. Working from home can be very isolating and having the chance to get feedback and advice from makers in the same position is invaluable.

Our aim is to support local suppliers, arts and craftsmen and encourage environmentally responsible trade. Everything we sell is designed & made by Lisa or Sally, so customers can buy from us with a clear and green conscious safe in the knowledge that an item from Our little Craft Company doesn't cost the earth, involves no importation of cheap goods at inflated prices and no slave labour.
