About me
I have always loved to sew and make things, my particular enjoyment coming from being able to make something with a really good finish.
After 'A' levels (including needlework!) I trained as a costume maker, following which I worked in London on a freelance basis. I cut and made costumes for many productions on stage and screen, The Last Emperor, Absolute Beginners, A Police pop video, and even a Smash advert!
I also started to work for a top interior designer/maker training me in all areas of the business.
After several years I made the move out to Surrey with my young family and started up a soft furnishings business from home. As demand grew and I needed more space, I took on my first tiny workshop on Mellow Farm in early '99.
Within a short space of time I was taking on members of staff, since then I have had two expansions of workroom space and now employ a staff of seven.
Whilst being busy with the overseeing and management of the whole business, I still enjoy keeping a very active hand in the every day making processes which enables me to quality check and always be on hand to answer questions from both staff and clients.
