About Tara

Picture

A lifelong love of stitch!

One of my first memories is earnestly stitching a piece of cloth.  I was about 5 - unfortunately for me, I stitched it to my tights and was horrified to discover that the scissors would be slicing through my stitches and not the tights!  Undeterred, I continued stitching, learning from my grandma, from books and much later at college.  

I have a wide ranging thirst for knowledge so I have a background in Science as well as the Arts.  I love teaching and my subjects include Embroidery, Dressmaking, Custom Fitting and Pattern Cutting.


Although largely an autodidact I hold the following qualifications (amongst others):
OCN Level 2 Embroidery
City & Guilds Level 3 Design for Craft
City & Guilds Level 2 Fashion & Pattern Cutting
NCFE Level 3 Drawing & Painting
NCFE Level 3 Life Drawing
GCSE Art, GSCE Design Technology

BSc Honours Nutrition and Biochemistry


I am currently studying the Certificate in Hand Embroidery at the Royal School of Needlework.
