Introducing Emma from Sweet Williams
Hi, I am Emma and am the face behind Sweet Williams.
I am based in Neath, South Wales. I started my little business back
in November 2011 when I realised I could turn my hobby into something
more. This time last year I hadn't used a sewing machine before so I
have really surprised myself. I was bored on maternity leave when baby
was sleeping (there's only so much cleaning you can do) and I have
always loved cross stitch so my hubby bought me a Cath Kidston Stitch
book. It all started from there.
My
favourite type of craft is sewing using both fabric and felt. I love
both equally as you can do endless things with felt and it's easy to sew
with but there are so many gorgeous fabrics around which I love to use,
especially to make cushions, tote bags and bunting amongst other
things. I seem to be really into hand embroidery at the moment too and
am addicted to collecting buttons and ribbon. I also make greetings
cards, usually personalised for the customers needs but I do prefer to
sew.

When I am not sewing madly I am either at
the day job - (I am a part time Legal Assistant for a local law firm),
being a mum to James (4) and William (1), looking after the house and
spending time with hubby, fabric and button shopping or reading books
(we own hundreds which live in floor to ceiling book cases)!! I am
constantly busy and on the go and I tend to be a night owl. I'm
definitely not a morning person.

I love reading blogs and I write my own (albeit somewhat neglected at times) -
