The story behind the business
Meet Nest & Thread

Creating has always come naturally to me. I grew up with some kind of creative outlet on the go at all times, which led me to study Design Crafts at university back in the 90s. That same love has stayed with me ever since, trying new crafts, revisiting old favourites, and losing myself in the process, from the first sketch to the final stitch.

What started as a creative outlet has grown into a full-blown passion project, and I still do it all myself from design and cutting to sewing, packaging, and photographing every item that leaves my studio.

When I'm not making, I'm a wife and a proud mum to two energetic teenagers who keep life beautifully busy, along with my fellow studio babies, my rescue cats Edna & Winston, who pop in to say hello from time to time.
