ABOUT SARAH SEWELL (WILDGOOSE DESIGNS)

I spent the first 40 years of my life thinking I wasn’t in any way creative, but after taking a basic sewing course I discovered free-machine embroidery & embarked on my creative path! Prior to this I had been a full-time mum, and before that worked in office jobs. I started Wildgoose Designs in May 2012, part-time at first, but it quickly grew as I began selling my work at various events and shops. I was then asked to run workshops and started teaching them in February 2015 – it’s so wonderful sharing my love of free-machine embroidery with others!

SARAH SEWELL (WILDGOOSE DESIGNS) – STUDIO

In October 2021 I finally got my much-needed home studio. It’s been a long time coming but I love it – it’s so light with lots of windows & double doors leading to the garden – so much more inspiring than working in the dark & dingy dining room!

SARAH SEWELL (WILDGOOSE DESIGNS) – WORK

I create free-machine embroidered textile art using a regular sewing machine (changing the settings enables me to move the fabric as I sew – ‘drawing’ with the needle!) I take inspiration from nature; birds, bees and flowers often feature. Liberty fabrics or tweed are then added for a splash of colour.
