I started off in costume early on, working both on set and behind the scenes, working my way up to Supervisor. In 2009 I stepped away from the industry to raise my children as, at the time, flexible working wasn't really an option.
At this time i decided to utilise my pattern cutting skills and started to make bespoke bridal wear and garments from home, which I could work around my children. I am a highly skilled dressmaker and pattern cutter with over 30 years sewing experience. I did this for several years until I relocated to Peterborough in 2017.
In January 2018 I became a Guest Specialist for Create & Craft TV, demonstrating fabircs, sewing machines, and other soft craft products for the purpose of sales, this time in front of the camera. I have developed strong skills in speaking in a live show setting and have developed a name for myself within the crafting industry.
In 2021, I was offered the opportunity to return to the television industry, this time as part of the sewing production team on series 8 of The Sewing Bee. This brought together all of my strongest skills of sewing, production, and organisation.
In 2022, I was offered the position of Sewing Producer on Channel 4's upcoming series Unique Boutique. This was by far the most demanding role I had ever undertaken but also the most rewarding. I was responsible for running the entire sewing department, co-ordinating between the Production and Sewing teams, creating a series that really has changed lives.
I am now back in the television industry as a freelancer and am looking for more opportunities to work within Sewing Production, or costume making departments.
I am highly organised, motivated, and flourish in high demand settings. Integrity is my most important value and who I work with, and the environment in which I work, are incredibly inportnant to me.
