Hello
Hi I'm Lizzie, founder of Sewing Squad! Sewing Squad is a place where you can come to learn how to sew, build on existing sewing skills and for those advanced sewers a space to work on projects with other like minded people. Sewing is such a great hobby for so many reasons, its unbelievably therapeutic, its creative, you will never stop learning no matter how advanced you get and for those fashion lovers you can design and make your own clothes! But as lovely as it is to sew on your own, I really wanted to build a local community where we can all get together, do what we love in great company, build friendships and learn from each other. So anyone is welcome here, I look forward to meeting you!
My Story
I have been sewing ever since I can remember! First being taught by my Mum where my love for making clothes began. I then went on to study Fashion Design at Bournemouth university showing my final menswear collection at Graduate Fashion Week. I was lucky enough to gain experience on Saville Row working for talented tailors who's skills were incredible to watch! I also worked for young upcoming designers, pattern cutting and physically making the collections that went down the catwalk at London Fashion Week. I then landed my first job working as a pattern cutter and shirt maker on Jermyn street. My career then took me to fashion brands such as Reiss, ASOS and a maternity brand called Seraphine. Then in 2023 I had my son Percy, I no longer wanted to commute in to London for work and had always dreamed of building a business where I can sew everyday but also be around others. Ever since moving to Tring in 2015, I have loved the community feel which I think is rare to come by and I really want to expand on this. I found great local groups through exercise and sport, but I wanted the same for a creative outlet, so this has led me to start Sewing Squad. A creative community to learn, be inspired, meet people and do a great hobby in the company of others. It wont stop at Sewing, if you have a creative skill you would like to share such as crochet, knitting lino printing, life drawing, this list is endless, please feel free to contact me as I would love to open my sewing room up to all creative activities.
