Made by Serafima

Handmade by Serafima

Stitched by hand,
one piece at a time

A small, changing collection of Serafima's hand-knitted homeware — tabletop pads, leaf coasters, mats, carpets, and bags. No two are quite alike.

Each piece is one of a kind, so once it sells it is gone. Checkout is by card and takes a minute. Every purchase goes to Serafima and her family.

About Serafima

At 75, Serafima still makes things with her hands every chance she gets. After a lifetime of working and caring for the people she loves, knitting is the part of the day that's just for her.

Each item here is knitted slowly, the old way, in soft acrylic thread that wears well and keeps its colour. When you take one home, you're not only getting something handmade. You're helping lift a heavy burden off her shoulders.

How to order

  1. Choose your piece

    Everything is made by hand and one of a kind. If it is still showing here, it is still available.

  2. Message me

    Tap Ask about this on the piece you like — it brings up my phone and WhatsApp. Send me the name of the piece and I’ll confirm it is still available.

  3. Pay what you feel it is worth

    I’ll send you a payment link. The price shown is a starting point — you are welcome to give more, and every penny goes straight to Serafima and her family.

  4. Collect or have it posted

    Once payment is through, we arrange collection in London, or UK postage for a small extra amount.

Because every piece is unique, I confirm it is still available before taking payment — so a quick message is always the first step.
