Made in the Button Room is a UK-based crochet business bringing together original crochet patterns, handmade gifts, lessons, workshops, and practical support for makers and small creative businesses.
Everything here is designed and created with care, a focus on originality, quality, community and planet-kind choices.
At its core, Made in the Button Room is about inclusive, enjoyable making.
Whether you're learning to crochet, want to build your amigurumi skills, need help understanding handmade soft toy compliance and UKCA requirements, or you're simply looking for a cute pattern or a beautifully made artisan gift, you're in the right place.
Want to learn to crochet?
From complete beginners picking up a hook for the first time to crocheters wanting to tackle amigurumi, learn a new skill or finally understand the bit that's been driving them round the bend.
I offer friendly one to one online crochet lessons, in person lessons and workshops, with support shaped around what you actually want to learn.

Need some help with your creative business?
Making lovely things and running a business selling lovely things are two very different skills.
If you're building a small creative business, I can offer practical one to one support with the things I've learned from nearly six years of running Made in the Button Room, including selling online, pricing, stockists, wholesale and some of the general "where on earth do I start with this?" moments that come with turning your creativity into a business.

Make and sell handmade soft toys?
If UKCA, CE marking, toy testing, labelling, traceability and compliance paperwork are making your head hurt, you're not alone.
I offer practical support for handmade soft toy makers who want to understand their responsibilities, work through the process and know where to find reliable information.
No scare tactics. No pretending it's all terribly simple. Just help making sense of what you actually need to do.

Sustainability underpins every decision I make, from avoiding new plastic and choosing natural fibres wherever possible, to reusing materials and producing in small, considered batches. It’s not about perfection it’s about having as little negative impact on our environment as possible, being transparent, and making choices that feel responsible and realistic for a small creative business.

Community is a big part of the Button Room. Through workshops, lessons, markets, events and online spaces, I aim to create an environment where people feel comfortable learning, asking questions, and enjoying creativity at their own pace - without pressure.
The Button Room Minis
The Button Room is also home to the Button Room Minis - a collection of original crochet characters that feature throughout my patterns, kits and business as a whole. Each Mini has their own personality and job role within the Button Room family, bringing a playful edge to the business.
They're a big part of my brand, inspired by people I love, have met over the years or from subjects I enjoy, adding warmth, character and a sense of fun. Designed to make people smile and hopefully spark imagination.
