Process & Production
Hand embroidery is a cherished handicraft that combines creativity and tradition.
Through a basic running stitch, I use the needle as a drawing tool, employing mark-making and layers of colour to craft depth and patterns on the fabric’s surface.
My work supports slow fashion and sustainability, emphasising their importance. I’m intrigued by the untold stories of garments—their history and the people who
wore them— so I source second hand pieces as my canvas. I enjoy making custom pieces, with clients sharing their ‘favourite’ clothes, allowing me to add another chapter and enhance uniqueness through personalisation.
