Meet Steph
Hi! I'm the founder of Sewn by Steph and the one man band behind all of this planet friendly goodness!
Everything you see here has been handmade by me, using sustainable materials and practices.
Read more about our story and values below!
How it all began...
I graduated from university in 2021 with a degree in Textile Design, specialising in embroidery & embellishment. Going from stitching pretty much 24/7 to not at all was a huge shock to the system, and I quickly began to miss being creative.
I decided to start making gifts for my family and friends from leftover fabrics from my degree, which I found also had a positive impact on my mental health.
After their response and encouragement, and realising that I'm happiest when working with my hands, I decided to start selling the items that I had produced...
And that's where Sewn by Steph was born!
Our Values...
We believe that everyone has a part to play in protecting and conserving our environment.
The textile industry is the second most polluting industry in the World, so we have always been conscious of minimising our contribution to this as much as possible.
Here's how we take action here at Sewn by Steph...
- Our products are created from up-cycled materials
- We use natural dyes rather than synthetic
- Offcuts are re-used to create new products
- Our products are designed to be used over and over...
- Or to be given as a unique gift that will be treasured forever
- All of our packaging is planet friendly
