Meet Melissa Melo

Melissa Melo Handmade - Making a world of imagination.

Hey there! I’m Melissa, a proud citizen of both Brazil and Italy, now happily settled in the tranquil beauty of the Lake District and for nearly two decades in the UK.

I discovered my love for sewing over twenty years ago, and since then, I’ve dived headfirst into a world of creativity. Along the way, I’ve mastered a variety of crafts, from drawing and knitting to crocheting, cross-stitching, embroidery, and design.

My cozy studio, nestled amidst the serene landscapes, is where my imagination runs wild. Each project is a labor of love, a celebration of my multicultural identity, and a reflection of my boundless passion for creating beauty.

Though my creations have garnered attention far and wide, my greatest joy comes from sharing a little bit of magic with the world. So, as I stitch my way through life, I do it with a smile, knowing that with every stitch, I’m weaving a little piece of my heart into the fabric of my creations.
