Morag Mapstone
Long Sutton, Somerset
Handmade at Hodgehay started in late 2018 when my husband got fed up with the increasing numbers of cushions on the sofa. Determined not to stop fabricating I started selling them on our local market in Langport. Cushions have now expanded into a variety of lovingly crafted sewn and felted gifts and homewares. These are produced by myself and my daughter at home in Long Sutton.
I really enjoy getting out to the monthly markets, meeting people and taking commissions. I try to fit in as many local craft fayres and am booked for a few National Trust events as soon as they start again.
Having studied textiles, fabric as a medium really excites me. The fabrics I use really are the inspiration for the pieces I create. 2022 will be a year for some more experimental pieces as I work towards a range of recycled/upcycled items. Everything I make is individual and exclusive. I buy small quantities of each fabric (very rarely re-stocking) to keep my designs fresh and limited.
