Its aim was to challenge the global sewing community to look at old clothes in a new light, and provide inspiration and tutorials (and often a huge competition prize) to encourage participation and get this message across.

    Portia has been a contributor to Simply Sewing magazine since its launch in 2015, designing and writing reader tutorials for a mix of refashioning, pattern hacks and patternless projects. She was awarded Dressmaker magazine’s Dressmaker of the Year in 2017. Winning with a quilted denim coat made from unwanted jeans.

    Sally founded Dresscue at the Brighton based Arts Charity ONCA - Dresscue is a free, community sewing space where people can learn to make, mend and upcycle. It is a space open to all abilities to grow in skills, interests and confidence while encouraging community connections and improved wellbeing. Sally is really grateful to PFAFF for their ongoing support and the donation of machines, without which the project would not be possible.

    @mattgagesewing
    Matt has been sewing since about 2015 when he started to up-cycle clothes to sell online. He then got involved in making drag costumes for friends in the east London drag community. This got him hooked on sewing and continued to teach himself from a mixture of online tutorials and pestering friends for advice.

     

    In 2019, he thought he would send off his application for The Great British Sewing Bee. As he had only been sewing for a few years he didn’t think anything would come of it, but to his surprise he got through, and to even more surprise made it through to the final!
     
    Since leave the Bee, Matt has worked on costumers for the West End theatre, developed his own line of easy to make sewing patterns (available at https://www.keepbritainsewing.com) and now working on his very own fashion brand!
