We thought it thought was about time that we introduce ourselves again…So hello! 👋🏻 We’re Rachel and Lyndsey and we are the founders of Make & Mend Co. It’s hard to believe, but we’ve worked together for almost 20 years now 🤯 and have been involved with some amazing creative projects and events over the years.

We started Make & Mend Co. in 2018 and it brings together the things we love most in life - creativity and colour! We are huge believers in the power of creativity to improve your wellbeing, and we have a range of mindful embroidery kits and ready stitched gifts.

Not only that, but we also host Make & Mend Festival 🤩 A day of colour, creativity and wellbeing that nourishes the soul, and our favourite day of the year ❤️ A huge thank you again to everyone who came, as this year was the first one at our new venue Kirkleatham Walled Garden 🌸

Thanks to Clare B - Photographer for always making us feel so relaxed when we have a few festival day pics taken! 🥰
