What can I say… I'm a fibre addict!
They say the root to combating your addictions is firstly admitting them, but I'm not so sure that works for me… I've not noticed any less resistance to stopping… it looks like I'm hooked for life and what's more I've moved into selling fibre too!
I always had a strong interest in fabric and textile crafts growing up and this continued through out my studies to become a fashion designer. My mother's encouragement and support saw me learn how to sew, knit, pattern cut and needlework long before I left school and so I never envisaged working in any other industry.
Later working for a number of British Fashion Designers I was lucky enough to visit many mills and textile factories whilst planning my next collections. Here is where my passion for fabric took a more technical turn and I became much more interested in how fabrics were produced and how fibres behaved. Later this would lead to crafts like felt making, spinning, weaving and free machine embroidery where I could create my own fabrics and work directly with the fibres I saw at the mills. Texture is key for me, I love 3 dimensional surfaces, colours and decorations and this has always inspired my work and my choice of crafts.
In late 2006 Sara's Texture Crafts was born. Initially working alongside my freelance design jobs, it gradually took over as I met more and more fibre artists and has since steadily grown to include the creation of craft communities like Working with Felt and Spinning Web. Now I'm a full time fibre supplier and artist and have been since mid 2007. What I love most about my day job is meeting and working with fellow addicts on materials for their latest projects and encouraging new addicts through my learning centre. This insatiable appetite for fibre is contagious I'm afraid!
Sara is a Fibre Artist, based in Devon.
Products
I try to source the very best of products to sell and am continuously looking for new suppliers and methods to be able to bring my ideas to you, here at Sara’s Texture Crafts. Currently I work with a selection of UK Farmers, crafts people and suppliers as well as a few overseas brands for the bigger pieces of equipment, to be able to do this. I also create some of the products myself, based on my experience with fibre and try to use this creative aspect of my supply work to enhance your projects.
If you have any questions regarding my products, or services please do get in touch.
Thank you for shopping with me,
