Welcome to The Village Seamstress website. We are located in the charming village of Warmington, Northamptonshire, near Oundle. 

My professional journey began after dedicating over fifteen years to teaching in secondary schools. In search of a new path, I undertook training in Pattern Drafting, Tailoring, and Dress Structure.           

Over time, I specialised in alterations and repairs for high-end clothing together with creating clothes,    specialist gowns and a variety of  fabric items for a small group of families. 

As my expertise grew, I expanded my services by accepting commissions from additional clients, developing my business further to include private sewing lessons and short courses on how to sew.

 My primary focus is tailoring (including suits, shooting wear, jackets, and coats) and the construction of clothing for evening, wedding, and special occasions. Additionally, I am equipped to repair a wide range of items, from bags to cherished antique embroidered bedding, and even darning your  favourite jumper.
