Welcome to Flossie & Small

Thanks for popping by! I’m Rachael and I started Flossie and Small in 2020. Having studied for a degree in Illustration many years ago, I have always wanted to do something creative for a living, and in 2020 I finally took the leap!

All of my products are designed and handmade by me. I use a combination of wool felt and cotton fabrics to create gifts and keepsakes for all those special occasions. All the wording is stitched using free-motion embroidery - I guide the fabric round with my hands in order to write. I taught myself how to do this and it took a lot of practice to get my sewn writing neat enough! I often think my sewing is now neater than my actual handwriting!

Most of the items in my shop can be personalised to make them extra special, making them the perfect gift for loved ones celebrating those special occasions!

All of my products are handmade in my home studio here in Derbyshire. I absolutely love working from home and feel very lucky to be able to do so!

I am often asked where the name Flossie and Small came from… Flossie is the nickname my Dad gave me growing up (who we sadly lost just before I started the business), and Small is what my husband calls our little girl!

Thank you for taking the time to have a look around our website!
