Molly Moo and Jessica too is home of quirky, colourful, fun, one of a kind homewares, gifts and plushies using reclaimed and/or remnant fabrics. All items are individually handmade by me, Gemma Payne, and as I love to upcycle fabrics, buttons and notions to make lovely new items from unloved items of clothing, bed linen, curtains etc I rarely make 2 items the same. I love to make plushies – steggies in various sizes, superhero aliens, robots and spiders in clashing hues made from fabrics from various decades and bunnies and bears made from felted knitwear. I’ve recently been working on my Best of British range so expect quirky Union Jacks, pinstripes, tweeds and tartans.
Pink Label at Molly Moo and Jessica too was launched in the early Summer of 2011 to showcase the handmade children’s garments that I make. Upcycling and refashioning is an important aspect of this range too and all garments I make are one of a kind. You might see my 2 girls Jess and Molly doing a spot of modelling too.
I love to make custom orders and I love a challenge so please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like me to make something special for you.

I qualified as a needlework and dressmaking teacher quite a few years ago and although I no longer teach needlework I still enjoy sewing and knitting, especially for babies and children.
