My passion is for preserving the art of hand embroidery and sewing through creating high quality, heirloom pieces.

Most, if not all, embroidered wares now on the market are machine-embroidered. What once was a highly patroned artform has now been reduced to a small sphere of hobbyists, replaced by efficient yet lackluster machines.

Each piece takes exquisite time and care and is handmade by me, here in Wellington, New Zealand. I use only pure linens and cottons that, with good care, will last generations!

Just as I hope my cherished wares are passed down through generations, I also hope to contribute to passing down the skills to make them. I was taught to sew and embroider by my mother, who was taught by her mother, who was taught by hers, and so on! I’m excited to add my daughter to this list when she is old enough.

I have run several workshops for children, teaching the basics of needlework and embroidery. As well as this I am now studying technical hand embroidery part-time, in a further effort to learn and preserve this beautiful artform.

I'm very happy to take any commissions and delight in working with clients to develop a special piece unique to them.
