I ran a bridal shop in Leeds city centre for ten years. In 2023, I closed it.
Both were the right decision.

New post on the blog about the sewing path from Costume, Bridal Emporium to building The Atelier Hub, a free global community for sewers past the beginner stage.

Get your own copy of How To Measure The Female Body over at The Atelier Hub. Here you see a snapshot of the measuring process made pretty for socials 😝

Latest sessions, we've been discussing measuring and creating bodice blocks, so if you're after the perfect fit then come and join us.

The Atelier Hub is a free Skool sewing group, for those past beginner stage 🪡

Recent sewing disciplines have been historical costume, corsets and we're building across the board because sewing isn't just one style, it's everywhere, each discipline complements another.

So build your skills and come and join a growing group of sewers.

Documenting all my makes from start to finish, we are talking a few decades and it's fun looking through all the images, getting organised and banking the good stuff.

From costume, to bridal and lots more in-between, you can join us for all the sewing chats in The Atelier Hub, link in bio!

Also, when you join, you get free sewing affirmations to keep you going during those long sewing sessions..

Bringing back to life all the makes I've made over my years, one of my original costumes of the Red Queen, an adaption of how I saw her from Alice & Wonderland 🤩

I'm celebrating opening The Atelier Hub on

A group for sewers past the beginner stage, a home to thrive, learn & grow 🌱🪡

For all sewers, because we're not just one, we are all disciplines, engineers of our craft.

I truly believe we're here to show the world the complexity of sewing, and I hope, really hope, humans wake up to the rotten world of fast fashion.

Can I be honest with you for a second?

Sewing can be the most beautiful, absorbing, soul-filling thing in the world.

And it can also be incredibly lonely.

When you're past the beginner stage, the groups that once helped start to feel too small. The questions you're asking don't fit. The things you want to talk about, the real craft stuff, the client challenges, the creative crises at 11pm, there's often nobody around who truly gets it.

I built The Atelier Hub because I felt it too.

It's a free worldwide community on Skool for experienced makers, dressmakers, tailors, bridal makers, corsetieres, milliners, costumiers, historical costumers and every sewer who's past beginner stage, who are serious about their craft and ready to be around people who match their level.

Not a classroom. Not a beginner space.

A warm, knowledgeable home for where you actually are.

And because you deserve a little something just for showing up 👊

🖤 Comment HUB below and I'll send you my 30 Day Sewing Affirmations completely free. A daily reminder that your craft matters, your progress is real and you belong in rooms like this one.

Swipe through to see what's waiting for you inside, and then come and find your people. The link is in my bio.

I cannot wait to meet you. 🪡
