Hello, and thanks for popping by…

Everything here is handmade with love at gilly makes... HQ, my little garden studio in the beautiful midlands of England.
Enjoy a browse and if you have a question, please ask away!

Do also follow along on my crafty adventures @gilly_makes on Instagram for (almost) daily posts & shop update announcements too.

Thank you for shopping small & buying handmade, it's really most appreciated!

Please note :
- tariffs for buyers in the USA came into effect on 29 August 2025 with a 10% import duty imposed by the USA government on all goods purchased from the UK. This additional tariff, as well as the Royal Mail handling/processing fee, has now been added to listings for buyers in the USA. Thanks for your patience whilst we navigated this change.

- for residents in the EU & Northern Ireland: Unfortunately due to the complex & costly restrictions imposed by the GPSR regulations from 13 December 2024, we are sadly no longer able to sell to EU countries or NI. Any purchases will have to be cancelled and refunded.

Very happy with my project bag, tag, and project folders. Gilly is so wonderful to work with on orders and everything arrived very quickly here in the USA from the UK. Highly recommended!

Hello, and thanks for stopping by for a peek in my little shop. I'm Gilly, a mid-century mama to two completely adorable pupsters, currently ensconced in the beautiful county of Worcestershire (home of the world-renowned sauce!) in the midlands of England, who just loves to make all sorts of pretty things.
Mostly to be found sewing, weaving, knitting or crocheting, and usually kept company at "gilly makes... HQ", my little craft studio in the garden, by our two bouncy Labradors.
