~ Beautiful freehand machine embroidered products for you and your home ~
Aster – The birth flower of September
Sarah is a textile artist specialising in freehand machine embroidery and has been practising this technique for over 30 years.
Her designs are heavily influenced by the natural environment surrounding her garden studio in the Weald of Sussex, situated down the lane from her family farm where she spent many of her childhood days walking through fields and woodland, gathering armfuls of wildflowers to sketch for inspiration.
Her collection has grown to include floral notecards and notebooks, zipped pouches, original artwork, linen aprons, embroidered bookmarks, lavender bags and linen eye pillows filled with beautifully scented Yorkshire lavender and wheat grown on her family farm.
Sarah runs online tutorials as well as workshops within her own studio in East Sussex and The Towner Gallery Eastbourne, teaching the wonderful technique of drawing with thread or water colour painting for well being, inspiring clients to create their own piece of artwork or functional product. Sarah is also available to speak at your event discussing her background as a textile artist, the art of freehand machine embroidery and to give demonstrations in this technique. Please use the contact form to get in touch for more information.
Her portfolios consists of two embroidered Christmas card ranges for WH Smith & several corporate clients. Sarah has produced fabric & wallpaper collections for British & US furnishing companies and her cards and textile products have been stocked at Fortnum & Masons, Liberty London, John Lewis & Fenwicks as well as smaller independent giftware shops in the UK and abroad.
Sarah offers a bespoke wedding stationery service working closely with couples to create beautiful stationery for their special day and happily accepts commissions for all kinds of work from party invitations to bespoke embroidered artwork requests and personalised cards.
Before creating and developing her own business, Sarah gained many years of valuable experience working within the print industry as designer and colourist for an international soft furnishings company and also as assistant to a British fashion designer as production support at several of his London Fashion Week shows & garment construction within his studio.
