About me
As a prolific dressmaker and seamstress I am fully qualified in pattern cutting and garment construction. As well as the ability to create well fitting garments, I have honed my repairing & alteration skills over many years; giving a new lease of life to countless items.
Coupled with a creative mind and flair for solutions, I also specialise in recovering sofas and chairs, as well as upcycling and repurposing vintage furniture and fabrics in a contemporary way. Additionally my services also extend to more specialised items such as vehicle seating and salon chairs.
And I do curtains, blinds and headboards...
Many homes and wardrobes are testament to over 20 years of my experience in working with garments and soft furnishings. I pride myself on having a high standard of work and excellent attention to detail.
