Pip ‘n’ Milly Creations is the brainchild / passion / work-from-home job of Fiona Ballard (that’s me!). I love to make things and my focus is on practical, functional and aesthetically pleasing. My philosophy is simple: handmade, well-made and useful.
I put a lot of care and attention into everything I make and I love what I do. I shop locally, buy small amounts of each fabric and every item I make is unique. I have no bulk purchasing power, do all my own work and do not operate in the same market as mass-manufactured goods. I believe the prices here are a fair reflection of the materials and work involved in making each piece.
Unless specified otherwise, all designs here are my own.
I care about the world we live in and do my best to keep this in mind in my work. I am very uncomfortable with the “disposability” of our culture and therefore make items which I believe are useful, with enduring appeal. I believe that excessive packaging is a significant environmental issue so I use minimal, repurposed or recyclable packaging where possible.
