Hi, I’m Carol, maker, fabric lover, wife to Brad, and proud puppy mama to Bowie and Hendrix.

I’ve been creating for as long as I can remember, thanks to the wonderful women who came before me. My love for making was shaped early by my Nanna and my mum, who passed down not just their skills, but a deep appreciation for the joy that comes from creating something with your hands.

I bring that joy to life through my handmade creations, each piece crafted with care and designed to be treasured.

I also sew socially. Gatherings have very quickly become a treasured part of my routine. What started as a monthly opportunity to hang out with friends has grown into a welcoming community where I am always made to feel at home.

Retreats are another special part of my creative life. They give me the space to make, slow down, and spend time with some of my best friends a couple of times a year.

Carol Makes in Melbourne is a space for both makers and gifters.

Whether you're looking for kits and supplies for your own projects, or handmade pieces perfect for giving (or keeping), you'll find something just right.

I’m so happy you’re here.

Love,

Carol xoxo
