Who we are
I set up Sew it With Love in February 2013 out of a combined passion for sewing, dressmaking, textiles and teaching. I used to be a language teacher before training in fashion, and although I absolutely loved my new career, I missed teaching and the joy that passing on a valuable skills to others brings. So one day, whilst sitting at the sewing machine and nostalgically reminiscing about my teaching days, I decided I was going to combine the two together and Sew it With Love was created!
Passing on my sewing and dressmaking skills to others is proving to be a wonderful, exciting and very rewarding journey and I look forward to continue sharing it with all of our wonderful current and future clients.
Rehana Begum
Sewing Tutor
Rehana graduated from Central Saint Martins with a BA in Fashion Design. It was alongside her studies where she honed her skills at fashion companies including All Saints, Matthew Williamson, Preen, Margaret Howell and Ozwald Boateng and during a spell at Savile Row where Rehana’s interest and skills in tailoring and pattern cutting really developed, parallel to her design abilities. She has since worked as a Designer for various London based fashion labels, has been part of the costume team on the Dancing On Ice TV show, and has worked as a dressmaking tutor both here and in Africa, where she was involved in empowerment projects teaching dressmaking. Rehana continues to freelance as a designer and tutor and thoroughly enjoys being hands on and sharing her love of sewing and pattern cutting with others.
