Hi, I'm Carole

I'm the owner, designer, creator, photographer, gift wrapper and packer here at Holmemade. I'm so delighted you're here!


About Holmemade

Imagine wandering down a cobbled side street on holiday and discovering a beautiful gift shop for the first time. Inside it's full of hand crafted products that make you stop and smile and you want to buy them all! You can find gifts for Auntie Sue and little Freddie, your best mate and a family wedding… and choose the perfect cards to go with them all. It’s not a huge shop but it’s bursting with colour and pretty things and your day is better because you found it… a hidden gem that you wish was on your doorstep back home.


That is the vision behind Holmemade.


Whether you need gorgeous gifts for family and friends, or fancy treating yourself, my virtual gift shop is online and ready for you to pop in for a visit anytime.   

Here at Holmemade you’ll find beautiful items to colour your home with love…. cards for all occasions, pictures for a wall, sumptuous cushions for sofas, cute décor for children’s rooms, gifts for creatives and much more. All products are individually designed to brighten your day and carefully hand crafted in my Holme Valley studio, in Yorkshire, UK. Much of my work can be personalised to create thoughtful keepsakes gifts, for you and your loved ones to cherish. I am very happy to accept bespoke orders so if you want something personal please drop me an email and tell me what you're after. If you're not sure exactly what you want or what would work best with your decor tell me that too... I'm very happy to help with ideas.

I fell in love with sewing as a child and have been creating ever since. My aim for Holmemade is to design beautiful and original pieces to bring people pleasure. I only work with high quality fabrics, whether it's pretty florals, cute ginghams or fun polka dots, as I want all my pieces to be treasured for years to come. I'm known for my eye for detail, combining fabric in different colours, patterns & textures to create quirky and individual home decor & gifts in a range of gorgeous palettes. The local countryside is a constant source of inspiration for my work, which often features flowers, trees and animals, and has a contemporary country style.


Recently I have extended my product range to include mindful sewing craft kits. In today’s world I think we all crave a little peace, an oasis of calm where we can truly relax. The practice of Mindfulness is all about slowing down, being present in the moment and fully engaging in what we are doing. Stitching mindfully, focusing on the thread colours and rhythm of the stitches, is a wonderful way to do this. I find it helps me to switch off, to unwind and it brings me joy. I’ve designed my kits so you can enjoy it too.
