Hi, thanks for stopping by my page, I hope you find something you like and if you don't please contact me anyway, I am always on the look out for new ideas :-)
The inspiration for this venture was my little lady 'T'. I have been sewing and crafting since I was a child which came in very handy when Miss Fussy started saying no to a lot of high street clothes! If you too have a lover of pockets and
Holy cow, look how much space I have! Didn't quite know how to set up but I think I made it look pretty good in the end π
If you are in the area do pop down to the Camelia Botnar Garden Centre and say hello. There are loads of fabulous stalls here so I need to make lots of money so I can buy ALL the things π
Testing new patterns in the holidays can be tricky, so I thought it would be fun to let T choose all the fabric herself. She spent a long time deciding on the trim colours - we had lilac and pink in the mix at one point! - and I think the end result turned out great. What do you think? What colours would you have put with her print choices?
PANTS! Not gonna lie, I dont really enjoy making these, but her ladyship has had a growth spurt so needs must π
How cute is this Grow With Me romper!
I only have a little bit of this gorgeous organic fabric left so if you want to nab it before I make a ready to post item give me a shout π
Made the husband a tee in our new Rock & Roll print. He has suggested that he will 'model' it for me, so there's something for you all to look forward to! π
Come and join us on Facebook tonight for our first market night of the year.
We've lots of in stock fabric on offer along with a pre-order of some gorgeous new designs along with some old favourites and a cheeky discount to boot π₯³

This gave me a little chuckle this morning. Not least because T has been asking for a guitar ever since she saw Sing! for the first time and we have finally relented this year and got her one. I'm already regretting the decision and she hasn't laid a finger on it yet! π
Haven't shown my ugly mug for a while so I thought I'd treat you all to my rudolph nose! π Just a touch nippy on the school run today although I don't mind too much as it means I get to wear my new hat! π
Anyone else sat on their kitchen floor crocheting while dinner is cooking? Nope? Just me then π
Earlier this week I had the unfortunate thought to make myself a hat using some of the leftover yarn I had from weaving a scarf for T's teacher in the summer (see pics 2 & 3). Obviously as soon as her ladyship saw said hat she wanted one too, so here I am, sat on the floor, using up the rest of the yarn from the scarf! π€¦ββοΈ
Definitely in love with this fabulous romper in our exclusive Camping Dreams fabric designed by the amazing DachsDesign π
It's one of my favourites and every time I order more I say I'll make myself something in it but it's so popular it all gets snapped up before I have the chance!
I've just had some more delivered so maybe this time I'll finally get something! π
Here's some of the lovely Grow With Me sweaters I'll have on offer at this weekend's π
Details on the last slide π Do pop down if you are local, it would very lovely to see you and there will be loads of gorgeous handmade businesses there includingone of my faves, the fabulous π
First Christmas fair of the year and they've put me next to the sweetie stall! ππ€¦ββοΈ
Do pop in if you're local, there's lots of lovely things to spend your pennies on π
It's time for my first Christmas fair of the year tomorrow (details on pic 2) and all these gorgeous things and more can be found on my stall π₯³
There are lots of other amazing makers attending including the fabulous Karen and her marvellous cakes and savoury snacks (the sausage rolls are to die for!) π§
Hope to see some of you there π
How cute is this!π¦π¦π¦
Haven't made one for ages and it was a lovely break from all the Xmas bits I've been doing recently π
It's starting to look a bit Christmassy at JT HQ. How about where you are? Anyone else feel like the year has whizzed by in a flash?!
Enjoying some super tasty coffee and cakes at .8 while we watch a few planes in the sunshine π
How's everyone coping with the heat? π₯΅ I made myself a hat yesterday which looks ridiculous but has kept me vaguely cool on the sweltering school runs so I don't care π Definitely should have made one a lot sooner!
Exciting delivery from British Stamp Maker today π₯³
I've been thinking about switching to stamped sizes and washcare instructions to eliminate sensory issues with labels but obviously want to be sure it won't fade after a couple of washes so you'll start seeing these appear on your clothes as my little tester. Do let me know what you think π
How fabulous is this brand new Grow With Me hooded dress! π
If you want to be one of the first to get your hands on one, pay a visit to the Shop Small Market on Facebook on Saturday evening π
Here's a sneaky peak at something new I've got coming to the website soon. Join me at the Shop Small Market night on Facebook this Saturday to be one of the first to get your hands on this and other new Grow With Me styles, along with some old favourites ππ₯³
In honour of the glorious sunshine have some bummies for a fiver! ππ₯³

Take note ...this is my story and I'm sticking to it! ππ

Since I've just had to put my slippers on because it's got rather chilly here today I thought I'd share these gorgeous ones that went out recently.
The customer requested extra hardwearing toughtek soles instead of my usual grippy dot fabric and I really like it so will be adding this as an option on the website shortly π
Lovely to see the sunshine back isn't it! I've definitely got my fingers crossed it sticks around a bit longer this time π
We have lots of options at Jessie and Thom if you're in need of some fun shorts to keep the kids cool whether you're having a fun day out or just chilling in the garden.
With several different styles and lengths available and even matching tops there's something for everyone π
I'm always very flattered when people choose me to make new baby gifts for them and this one was particularly special because I've known the family for some time π
It will be a little while before the new arrival fits into his super cute 3-12 months Grow With Me Sweater and Romper but hopefully I'll be allowed to share some super cute photos when he does π€
Thank you for this lush order and for not minding when I couldn't find your first choice of fabric for the romper! (Still can't. If anyone has any idea where in my home a metre or so of Toddlersaurus Rex might be hiding please let me know! π€¦ββοΈπ)
During the Easter break we went to the fabulous to do the Hungry Caterpillar trail and I wrote a fairly long post about it to go with these fabulous pictures but apparently didn't actually post it because I just found the photos saved in my drafts π€¦ββοΈ
I can't remember now what I wrote but I think we can safely assume it was highly amusing (hmmm) and I thought you might like to see the photos of her ladyship prancing around anyway π
One day I might even get round to deciding if I'm going to add the grow with me jacket that T is wearing to the website π
Alan had today off work so we went over to for the day.
T, as always, dressed entirely appropriately for the weather π€¦ββοΈπ but I let it go because I figured at least I'd get some lovely photos of that dress finally.
Did I heck! Well, maybe one. Her father on the other hand...well you can see what happened. She just poses for him, no titting about, no bribery required. Little bu**er! π
Luckily, thanks to technology and a binding marriage contract I can pinch his photos, no questions asked and no payment required. Phew! π
Finally managed to get her ladyship out to get some decent (well half anyway, she would not budge on the sock/shoe combo! π) photos of her Hooded Dress. This print is so gorgeous and just perfect for the summery weather we've been having recently π
It's not on the website right now but if you want it just put kaleidoscope in the fabric choice box and I can get some in for you π
Ahhhh. This is the life ππ
Sharing this Adult Pocket Skirt I made a while ago and totally forgot to post because this fabulous print definitely doesn't get the love it deserves!
Our Story
Hi, thanks for stopping by my page, I do hope you find something you like and if you donβt please do contact me anyway, I am always on the lookout for new ideas :-)
The terrifying close up above is my little lady βTβ who inspired this venture. I have been sewing and crafting since I was a child which came in very handy when Miss Fussy started saying no to a lot of high street clothes! If you too have a lover of pockets and crazy prints then you have come to the right place.
I worked as a legal secretary in the city for many years and had always assumed I would go back to that once my maternity leave was over but T turned out to be harder to leave than I thought she would! Itβs taken me another couple of years to get up the courage to actually start doing what people have been telling me to for years and start selling things that I make (which if you know me you will know is actually a really short time - I donβt think my mother thought I ever would even when I told her Iβd thought of a name!) but better late than never right?
Anyway, I hope you like what I do and if you are after something I donβt have listed or would like a more made to measure service for whatever reason just drop me a line and we can have a chat about how I can help.
