Making Happy Things: The Story Behind the Book

For the past two years, I’ve been quietly (and obsessively) working on a very big, very happy project: my first book! And now I can finally share it with you - Making Happy Things is real, it’s colourful, and it’s available to preorder.

This book was born from a deep love of handmade things, and the joy, healing, and creative spark they bring. It’s filled with 21 sewing projects that invite you to turn everyday materials like tea towels, linens, or fabric scraps into pieces you’ll actually wear and treasure. Think wardrobe icons with a personal story sewn in.

Each project is meant to be a starting point. I hope you’ll use the book as a springboard for your own ideas, your own sense of style, and your own happy things.

The book will be available worldwide:

📦 Australia - 29 July 2025

📦 USA - 26 August 2025

📦 UK - 28 August 2025

If you’d like to support the book and be one of the first to hold it in your hands, you can preorder it here:
