Welcome to Clarobobbins!
I’m a retired Design Technology teacher with a passion for sewing, quilting, and all things textile-related. On this channel, I’ll take you along as I create a handmade wardrobe filled with unique garments, experimenting with unusual fabrics and creative techniques.
Beyond garment sewing, I also explore quilting, knitting, and natural dyeing—blending traditional skills with fresh, artistic approaches. As a beekeeper, I love incorporating hive products into my crafts, including handmade soap and beeswax candles.
If you’re interested in slow fashion, DIY sewing projects, creative textile crafts, and sustainable making, you’re in the right place! Subscribe and join me in building a wardrobe and lifestyle that’s handmade with love. 🧵🐝✨

Hello lovely viewers,
I'm hopeful that the flickering video gremlins have now been banished from the channel and that normal service has been resumed. I have uploaded on a different browser and it looks ok on my laptop.
Please do drop a comment on the video if you find that it is still a problem for you and I'll have another look.
Sincere apologies for the earlier issues with the video and many thanks for letting me know there was a problem.
Happy sewing,
Clare
