Who am I?

I’m a maker and dog parent to Arthur.

A creative soul obsessed with things that are hand-crafted.

Give me a piece of wood, or a scrap of cloth, and I’m in heaven.

But what really lights me up…Kilts!

My first ever hand stitched kilt blew my mind! The precision, the science of shaping and the rhythm of the hand-stitches were absolutely fascinating. I was hooked.

I wanted to make a kilt because I was moving to New Zealand and thought: if I’m Scottish and a sewer, then yes— if the question came my way , I can make one. Little did I know how much I would enjoy the journey of studying the craft so intensively.

Fast forward five years, back in Scotland and BOOM, my next path in life revealed itself, teaching.

I get to make extraordinary bespoke kilts and share the craft with people who appreciate passion, skill, and quality. Helping to keep this heritage craft at the level it deserves.

40 years of sewing, 20 years dedicated to bespoke kilt making and 15 of those dedicated to teaching.

Of all the things I have made in my sewing career, kilts are my absolute favourite.

This is me —and I love every stitch of it.
