Hello there , thanks for coming over . Make yourself comfy .
This morning Mich from Lilli May Designs is here for morning tea .
Coffee or tea ?
Decaf Tea please .
What is your business ?
Lilli May designs.
What do you do ?
I hand make clothes and decor items
for children and the home.
How long has it been going ?
8 months
How did it start out ?
I have been sewing for over 20 years, but really
started focusing on it when I was made redundant late last year.
How do manage around your family ?
When Lilli May (16
month old daughter) sleeps, that's when I sew.
If I am particularly busy, then my
husband will take her out for the day on Saturdays and Sundays.
When your craft becomes your work how do you relax ?
I
have allocated Friday's as my 'day off' so even when she sleeps I don't sew any
orders. If I feel like sewing on a Friday, I will make something 'just for
fun'
Do you make things and sometimes keep them for yourself
?
Yes all the time! Sometimes I create a fabric combo for an order, and realise
how great it is, that I make one for Lilli May as well!. Plus I am in the middle
of making a skirt and vest for myself.
What is your favourite craft?
Sewing and all things
fabric
Describe a normal day for you ?
Get up and dressed, have
breakfast and play outside and then go for a walk with the pram with Lilli May.
Come inside and have lunch. Lilli May then goes down for her nap so I get 2
hours of sewing done. I will usually spend this time working on orders, locked
away in my cougar cave with the radio on. Then after dinner whilst we both watch
her, I respond to emails, search for fabrics and do the invoicing.
Are your designs your own ?
Some are my own, some are
purchased and some are modified from purchased patterns
Tell us something quirky about yourself ?
I LOVE to eat
lemons and salt!
What are your plans ? How much further do you plan to
take your business ?
I plan to keep creating beautiful handmade items for my
family and customers and to grow it so that I can continue to help support our
family and spend precious time with Lilli May as she grows.
Where do you sell ?
I currently only sell online, with a view to start street markets
next year

Great reading! Thanks for introducing us to another awesome handmade designer
Xx
Lovely reading about other parents with similar priorities and in similar interest/business/hobby areas who love what they do.
Oh.. Forgot to mention! Mich, try lemon and salt on carrot strips or in soda water. You may have another favourite :-)
Thank you for the cuppa. Lemon and salt took me back to my schooldays and being with my dad who loved this.
