Founded by three local sewists in 2016 because we wanted to share our joy of sewing, and to teach others how to make clothes that fit.

 

Currently a team of two, as individual sewists we each have a specialism. Felicity's is Bridalwear and Saz's is ready-to-wear. As a team, we wanted to be able to bring others together and teach them elements of each of our own areas, to turn nervy cushion makers in to confident dressmakers. Coming from different areas of dressmaking we offer a unique perspective and skillset.

Who are we?
