I explore repair as both a practical skill and a creative practice, bringing together traditional mending techniques, textile experimentation and a thoughtful approach to extending the life of clothing.

My work celebrates the character and history of well-loved garments, seeing damage not as an end point but as an opportunity to create something new. From subtle, discreet repairs to expressive, visible mending, I enjoy exploring how stitching, weaving and embroidery can give textiles a new lease of life.

Repair with TOAST

Over the past year, I have worked as one of seven UK repair specialists for TOAST, developing my skills in traditional and creative garment repair. I now continue to work with TOAST on a freelance basis, creating pieces for their TOAST Renew collection. These one of a kind garments celebrate visual and creative repair, transforming damaged clothing into distinctive standalone pieces that embrace the beauty of mending.

Repair & Renew

My Repair Service

I offer a freelance clothing repair service, working on a postal basis so you can send your garments directly to me. Whether you're looking for a subtle repair that blends into the original fabric or something more creative and expressive, I can work with you to find an approach that suits your garment.

Services include:

  • Discreet Repairs – Thoughtful, carefully considered mending designed to blend with the original garment.

  • Creative & Visible Mending – Decorative stitching, woven darning, embroidery and textile techniques that celebrate rather than conceal damage.

  • Garment Renewal – Reworking worn or damaged clothing into something with a new lease of life.

I believe clothing deserves to be valued, cared for and worn for as long as possible. Through repair, we can preserve the stories held within our garments while creating something entirely new.

Get in touch to discuss your garment, the type of repair you're looking for, prices and how to send it to me. I'd love to help give it a new lease of life.

Exhibition coming soon— Threads of Scotland

I am currently developing a personal exhibition titled Threads of Scotland : Woven Between Shores, exploring the relationship between landscape, material and repair.

Inspired by six months spent living on the Isle of Mull, the work brings together the colours and textures of the island's coastline with traditional weaving and mending techniques. Using Scottish island sheep wool, I weave new textiles into garments that might otherwise be considered beyond repair, creating wearable pieces that connect material, place and memory.

The exhibition celebrates repair as a way of preserving, reimagining and building connections with the things around us.
