About

Hi! I’m Kym, a sewist and crafter from Cumbria.

I love sewing and crafts and always have lots of creative projects on the go all at the same time!

I am passionate about sharing sewing and craft projects and this is how ‘MAKE! The Lakes’ came about.

In 2020, I was the lucky winner of the C4 Kirstie’s Handmade Christmas Best Stocking Competition with my Ice Dyed Stocking! Yippee! Check out the episode here.

I live in a Castle in The Lake District with my lovely partner and little cat who likes to ‘help out’ in the studio sometimes!
