About

I have been running my own businesses since 2011. At the age of 28, I opened my first shop in London, Sew Over It and built this business up over the 12 years I owned it. It became a leading brand in the home sewing market, specialising in dressmaking patterns sold in digital and physical format. I have also launched lifestyle and homeware brands, published two books and a magazine.

Since successfully exiting Sew Over It, I have launched my new business, Jazzy Rose Flowers, a flower farm in Hertfordshire. Whilst the product is very different to my sewing business, the structure is similar, I run an ecommerce site, have wholesale and retail customers and I also run workshops both on the farm and online. You can follow my business on instagram here @jazzyroseflowers.

After two years of focussing on my farm and not having time to sit at my sewing machine, I feel ready to come back to it. I hope that I will be able to successfully run Jazy Rose Flowers in the warmer months and come the 'down season', turn back to my sewing machine. And alongside all of this, share my knowledge and experience with other small business owners.
