Who we are

Hello, I’m Teresa, I run Shirley Rainbow and I love embroidery! I hand embroider a range of wall decorations, inspired by plants and birds, as well as a range of zipped purses with hand embroidered patches. I added a collection of hand stitched and embroidered felt lavender bags to my Folksy shop last year and they have quickly become one of my favourite items to make. I like to use a variety of hand embroidery stitches in my work, as well as a mix of felt and linen backgrounds.

Embroidery was my specialism during my Textile Design degree, studied at Nottingham Trent. I now work from my home studio, a little niche carved out just for me in our attic. I run Shirley Rainbow while my children are at school, and so far they don’t seem to mind the ‘creative’ mess I leave in my wake.
