My name is Lorraine and I love to make handmade gifts and pretty things. Since learning to knit when I was about seven I have taught myself a lot of crafts including crochet, cross stitch , embroidery and sewing. I'm at my happiest with a needle of some sort in my hand! 
I set up Hippywitch crafts in 2011 to sell my handmade items from my home in Sunderland in the north east of England. 

I have an etsy shop and and a facebook page where you can buy from me directly, I hope you enjoy looking around them. 

I am happy to take custom orders of any type from small hearts personalised with an embroidered initial to a large cross stitch picture or sampler for a birth, wedding or anniversary. Just send me an email at hippywitch.crafts@gmail.com and we can work out the details so you get exactly what you require.

My knitted and crochet toys are CE marked. This means they have been tested for strength and safety as required by law and are safe from birth and washable. You can be confident that all materials used are safe and they pass the tests laid out in EU regulations EN71 parts 1-3.

All items are made with love and care and I hope you'll enjoy looking around.
