the fashion feed - episode 21 - sewing from scratch with new craft house
Hannah and Rosie - Founders of New Craft House
Hannah and Rosie popped up on my insta feed via a post that Heart Zeena shared about DIY sewing & I loved that New Craft House was making sewing cool & accessible to everyone!
Friends since school, they’ve always been obsessed with crafting (girls after my own heart & I had to go to Hobbycraft straight after we met as I felt so inspired!)
After having a successful blog & also struggling to find fresh and exciting craft products they set up The New Craft House in 2013. Using traditional crafting techniques in modern and stylish products, their range of kits and workshops inspire everyone to be creative.
They run workshops from the studio on Broadway Market, East London with Hannah’s beautiful dog who was napping behind us whilst recording!
We lost the first recording after 10 minutes but they were so patient with my crappy laptop & were happy to start again from the beginning - thankyou!
In this episode we discuss :
How to get into sewing if you’re a complete novice
What the New Craft House workshops look like
Why they started buying ex - design fabrics to sell on their website
Common starter sewing mistakes to avoid!
