About Me

With a background in textile design and previous experience working for high street brands including Marks and Spencer, Debenhams and River Island, Emily Corcoran has an eye for trends and years of proven experience in styling and making.


Emily founded Little Dreamer Makes from her kitchen table with her daughters by her side. Initially a passion project, the line of handmade accessories has taken off with interest from adults and children wanting to surround themselves with pretty things.


Inspired by the imaginations of her children, the range includes decorative hoops to suit any interior design scheme, and pretty accessories, all made by hand.

If you pop over to my project section, you will be able to view some of the products I have designed and made for various clients for children swear; including The Little White Company, 


“Each item from Little Dreamer Makes is unique, and special to its owner. I love to take a lot of care when making and put thought into every detail, so I’m delighted to put that passion into my own business for the first time.”
