From a young age, I’ve always loved creating, and it was my Mum, Dad, and Nan who truly sparked my passion for craft and making things. Their influence encouraged me to explore my creativity in various forms, from floristry to sewing and beyond.

​

After years of experimenting with different crafts, I decided to reignite my passion for sewing. A bag-making workshop was the turning point, and I quickly fell in love with the process. I upgraded my sewing machine, began recycling fabrics, and enjoyed transforming old items into something new.

Encouraged by friends and family, I eventually turned my craft into a business, and The Quirky Hide was born. The name reflects my desire to create unique pieces, while also honouring the love and support I’ve received from my family, especially my nan, whose memory continues to inspire me.

​

Fred Furnace, my trusty dragon mascot, represents the fiery spirit of creativity and individuality that fuels my work. Together, Fred and I are excited to share these handcrafted creations with you.

​

Now, with a focus on leathercraft, I pour passion, skill, and a bit of charm into every creation.

 

Thank you for being a part of my journey and supporting my small business.
