Teacher
Naomi has been crafting since she was very young. With a grandmother who was a dressmaker, she learnt to sew and knit from a young age. But it was many years later that she rediscovered the joy of sewing when she took up quilting, although it was dressmaking that was to become her true passion. Naomi trained as a teacher and after many years, pursued a diploma in Fashion and Dressmaking with City and Guilds. She has taught sewing and knitting in a number of settings around Brighton. Naomi is a prolific sewer, creating clothes to fit her body and give her the body confidence that ready to wear cannot. She enjoys pattern cutting and creating her own bespoke designs.
