Sarah can’t remember learning to sew – she absorbed the basics from family members by making dolls’ clothes and toys. Sarah studied for her City and Guilds Fashion (Parts I & II) in the early 1980s and started making clothing for re-enactment. It was here that she discovered her passion for reproducing historic garments. Sarah’s hand sewing is among the best in the business and as a pattern cutter, she can reproduce the essential shapes of any era. Sarah’s book “The Medieval Tailor’s Assistant” is a world best-seller in its subject.
