Hi there! I’m Lisa Cotton, a 37-year-old sewing and knitting enthusiast living in the beautiful city of York. I make my own clothes – because I love the very act of making.

As a software engineer, I approach my craft projects with a technical and detail-oriented nerd brain. Right now, I’m taking time out from my career to study for a diploma in fashion design. To be honest, it’s been a real journey! I’ve learned so much about myself along the way.

One of the things I love to do as part of my creative hobby is to pattern test sewing patterns for independent designers. If you’d like to collaborate, please reach out – I’d love to hear from you. Otherwise, why not have a nosy around my website and peek at all the things I’ve made!
