Hi, I’m Jan and I can’t stop making things.
I’ve knitted, sewn and crocheted from a very young age, taught by my Mum, Aunty and Nan.
When I was 3 — Knitting . ‘In, over, through, off.’
4 — Hand sewing. Buttons on anything I could find.
5 1/2 — Knitting on four needles. Dolls’ socks.
6 — Machine sewing. Mum’s Jones treadle machine.
8 — Crochet and Embroidery. I’ve still got doilies and a tablecloth with lots of embroidered daisies
Machine Knitting, Quilting, Tailoring, Dress-making and Bobbin Lace came after, at night-classes.
I had a hand and machine knitting shop in Liverpool in the 1980’s when machine knitting gave local women a cottage industry, knitting school jumpers and cardigans —— before mass production !
Those were the days, it was like Christmas when a delivery of yarn arrived.
For the last 26 years I’ve worked part-time in the Dollshouse Shop and Doll and Teddy Hospital in Liverpool, making miniatures and repairing all manner of dolls, teds and soft toys ( some of them only scraps )
I have a lovely ( a bit untidy - but I know where everything is ) Workroom but am running out of space for my stock.
So now I offer for sale - a selection of Soft toys and Animals - some as kits.
Christmas decorations - mainly one off’s.
Christmas gifts.
Quilts and fabrics.
Crocheted blankets - baby and adult.
Collectors dolls and clothes
Collectors Mohair bears - some as kits.
Miniature knitting and patterns for dollhouse people.
With a big ETCETERA as I make more ‘Stuff’ Jan.
Please have a browse and spread the word if you like what you see, My shop is Allsortsofstitches and I’m on Folksy.

So beautiful, I really love them! They are lovely quality and I just couldn’t resist them. I am still thinking of project that will do them justice!
I had a stroke in 2011 down my right side when I was 27, so I am really hopeless with hand sewing now.
I don’t have the dexterity with my right hand, but I am going to weekly sewing classes, so I haven’t given up.
You and your work are especially inspirational to me, you do so many different things I am amazed.
Thank you again and best wishes,
Clare

Gorgeous books in brilliant condition, just like new and sent superfast with sensible packaging. Many thanks xx
Sorry for the delay, Dad came back from surgery, Mum and I caring for him. Less said about that the better, it’s been a nightmare.
Changing the subject to your beautiful blankets that have been very useful recently! Mum, Dad and I really love them, thank you so much. Thank you again for quality of your beautiful work.
Kind regards and best wishes,
Clare
