Welcome to Blackberry Jelly - Named after my late Mum. For ten Christmas holidays in a row, mum made enough jelly to last an entire year for 4 kids’ school lunches — a simple tradition filled with care, generosity, and love. That spirit sits at the heart of everything I create.
Every piece I make carries that same intention: something made thoughtfully, patiently, and with genuine care. When you choose Blackberry Jelly, you’re supporting a small handmade business and carrying something made with heart, purpose, and skilled craftsmanship.
Hello, I’m Sue, and I live in the beautiful Whitsundays. Sewing has been my lifelong passion, my skill, and my craft. With over 60 years of experience — and as the daughter of a seamstress, pattern maker, and primary school craft teacher — quality making is simply part of who I am.
If you’re looking for a beautifully made item that looks great, feels wonderful to wear, touch, or hold, and is made to last, you’ve found your maker. My work is defined by careful attention to detail and thoughtful construction. From choosing the right fabric and thread to selecting interfacing that creates the perfect softness or structure, and quality hardware such as zips, clips, and rivets — every decision is guided by experience.
I primarily work with linen, canvas, and quilters cotton, sourcing many of my fabrics from interior design and upholstery stores. These higher-quality textiles lend themselves beautifully to the bags, pouches, and craft-lover accessories I create, giving each piece durability, character, and a timeless feel.
