Who we are

Hi, I’m Paula Handforth, the creator of HANDforthMADE.

A love for sewing and a passion for herbs and gardening led me to try and blend the two together, to make simple but beautiful things. I use freehand motion embroidery to make my products a little bit different.

I currently make a wide variety of items, which include cards, bookmarks, glasses cases, purses, make-up bags and tote bags. I also make reusable and sustainable items for your home, such as fruit and vegetable bags. Being handmade, each item is uniquely individual – no two items are ever the same.

A long standing admiration for all things Shaker has influenced my work. I use good quality cottons and linens, often in plain and muted colours and I try to keep my items clean, simple and understated.

I am a collector of pre-loved and vintage materials and buttons, and often use these in my work.
