My Story

Hello! My name is Anell and I am owner, designer, maker, packager, poster and general 'all-do-er' over here at Mella's Makings.

I love being creative and sewing has had a special place in my heart since I was a little girl. Watching my Granny and Mum sew their creations over the years was mesmerising. But it was only after 10 years of working in what I thought was the career for me, and having children, that I realised what I had to do! So in 2013, I set up Mella's Makings.

 I now work from my sewing room in our home in Lancaster, where I live with my husband, two boys, two dogs & a cat. It is a real privilege to be able to run my business around my young family's needs. The most satisfying thing about what I do is most certainly having happy customers! To create something that puts a smile on someone's face is an amazing feeling.

 Since starting my business in 2013, my product range has expanded a lot! This is mainly due to my love for doing special commissions. A large part of my product range was inspired by my wonderful customers. I also tend to make things that I would love to buy and have in my own home. I can get quite attached to my creations!

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoy browsing through my shop.
