Your tutor
Kay has been sewing since she was very young. With a mother who was a dressmaker, she learnt to sew and knit from a young age. But it was many years later that she rediscovered the joy of sewing when she started her own soft furnishings business although it was dressmaking that was to become her true passion. Kay trained in a high end manufacturing company and she has taught sewing in a number of settings around Lanarkshire. Kay is a prolific sewer, creating clothes to fit her body and give her the body confidence that ready to wear cannot. She enjoys pattern cutting and creating her own bespoke designs.
