Welcome to

Slumbering Hound

Hi! I’m Dee and I used to make gorgeous stuff for dogs.

After seven wonderful years, I’ve made the difficult but exciting decision to close my physical shop and Studio at Hatfield Park at the end of October.

The focus of my business has changed so much over the years and so I must evolve with it.My illustration work, commissions and drawing workshops have become a much bigger part of what I do, so it feels like the right time to put away my sewing machines and focus on this new adventure.

My website will be updated in the coming months but there is still time to grab a few remaining pieces from my BIG 50% OFF SALE, both online and in-store.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me, visited the shop, joined a workshop, commissioned my work or simply followed along over the years. It really does mean the world to me.

I hope you’ll stick around and follow me into this next chapter, I’m excited to see where it takes me.

The story of Slumbering Hound

Looking around for blankets for our Greyhound Aston, I realised that there was a huge choice on the market, varying considerably in price and quality. With my background in mind, I decided it would be a great idea to make my own for him. I received some great feedback, made a few things for friends and was approached to be part of a pop-up collective on my local high street. The venture was a great success and it has given me the positive start I needed to allow Slumbering Hound to grow into what it is today.
