“I started making aprons a few years ago when Ballarat held its famous Apron Festival. Then Covid hit and the festival folded. I found I really enjoy sewing and have continued screen printing and sewing aprons, bags, hats, tea towels and cushions. I don’t have a regular outlet so it is great to have the opportunity to be part of the Be Bold Market.”

100% soy candles, roll on perfumes and car diffusers made with love and filled with a variety of scents. Our aim is to raise as much money for charity as possible.
