I’m Sarah, founder and teacher at CRAFT. I opened CRAFT in February 2020, it’s
been a dream for sometime to have a space to be able to teach a subject I love
so much. I started sewing as a young girl, sewing together scraps of fabric from
my mums fabric box, altering clothes and creating new ones. I’ve always been
something I have always enjoyed. I graduated with a first class honours degree
in Education in 2009. After graduating I took up a teaching post in a secondary
school, specialising in textiles and food technology. After having my first
child in 2012 I decided not to return to the classroom and started a business
making and selling children’s wear from home. When my second daughter arrived in
2016 I decided to start teaching again. I taught in the workshop room at the
back of Annie’s fabric shop most weekends. Workshops became popular and from
that CRAFT was born. I wanted to create a space that could be used to teach
sewing workshops but also could work with other creative areas. I hope that when
people visit CRAFT they feel relaxed and enjoy spending time in the workshop
space. I really love teaching here. I love sharing my knowledge, my top tips and
my expertise. My aim is to give my students confidence and to share my love and
passion of sewing. I want everyone to leave feeling excited to start their next
sewing project .
