Welcome to OllyBolly!

I'm a UK-born mum, now living in Hawke's Bay, NZ. I am the busy bee behind the scenes of OllyBolly. I have my mother and both grandmothers to thank for the sewing genes! As a young girl they all taught me beautiful sewing techniques. I can still remember being given my first manual Singer sewing machine with the little handle. With qualifications in design & textiles, I have always had a love and interest of handmade beautiful things. OllyBolly has sprung from my hobby as a maker of gifts for friends and family, to word of mouth commissions, and to you here on Felt.
