About the business and the lady behind it...

Started in June 2023, a small business, run by me, Lydia, on my own!

A lot of my skills have been self-taught since I was a small child (I began by creating clothes for my dolls). Moving on, most of my teenage years were spent making clothes for myself, using vintage sewing patterns.

I studied fashion and textiles at college. However, after just 1 year went by, and I decided it wasn't quite for me (I've always liked sketching designs on physical paper, with pens, they were much more "computerised").

After a few years trying to find an appropriate job, I started working in a factory, sewing classic car interior kits. I stayed there for a couple of years, before progressing to another place of work, where, as well as sewing the new interiors for classic cars, I was actually fitting the covers onto the frames. This also spread into making carpets, head linings, etc.

Having spent a few years at that work place, I decided that it was time to start my own business, using all my sewing skills, to create and repair all sorts of items!

And now, here I am, a few years later...
