My love for sewing started early, sitting on my great granny’s knee at her treadle sewing machine and making Barbie clothes alongside my mum and auntie as they stitched garments for the whole family. That early inspiration sparked a lifelong passion for creating.

As a teenager, I was part of the mod scene and loved using my mum’s fabric stash to sew unique outfits for weekends out. I’ve always been drawn to reusing and reinventing clothing, often finding pieces in charity shops and transforming them to match my vision. Over the years, I’ve made everything from everyday wear to my daughter’s wedding dress.

I’m committed to continually developing my skills and have earned distinctions in both pattern cutting and tailoring. I regularly attend advanced sewing and design courses at Trent University to stay current and inspired. At Seam2Seam Studio, I’m excited to share the techniques I’ve learnt and help other build confident in their own sewing journeys.
