Claire Laraine

is a woman on a mission! As well as creating beautiful pouches and purses from 'scrap' fabric she has been very busy promoting the UK handmade movement via her blog, Claire Laraine Partners in Crime. Here's the mission statement

"To promote fellow indie designers and tell everyone about their wonderful work and just how amazing they are. So what!? Why are we different? We have noticed that despite a high demand, there is lack of free representation for Indie designers in the UK, there are plenty of US sites, but what about when you want to reach an audience closer to home? So we are making it our business to fill the gap and get you designers and crafters seen - for free!"

And today she has featured little ol' me! You can read all about it here
