Rhubarb Crumble is the crafting alter-ego of me, Bronwen Livingstone. An inveterate collector with a short attention span and no desire to return to office-based employment, my only option was to start sewing, cutting, sticking and quilting my way through my stockpile of supplies.

I repurpose second-hand books into nostalgic yet functional stationery, and have a particular fondness for old Ladybird readers. I also sew handbags, totes, purses, brooches and belts with imported, thrifted or just plain gorgeous fabrics and dabble in clothing and soft furnishings when I get a chance. Just don't ask me to make curtains.
