Sea Stories + Sewing

Meet Author Jessica Jade + Shellabella as they take you on ocean adventures, meeting magical sea creatures.

Inspired by the story’s sea creatures, sew your own, with Lucy of Makers Mews, using scrap felt + recycled materials.

Shellabella is a mermaid who promotes empathy, inclusion + understanding of conservation efforts while embarking on a magical underwater adventure.

After rescuing a turtle from a balloon string Shellabella wants to spread the message about the dangers of plastic in the sea.
