Narelle Hemmings,

master seamstress

With skilled hands, a keen eye for detail, and a deep commitment to sustainability, Narelle transforms fabric into wearable art. A seasoned seamstress with years of experience, she blends traditional techniques with modern flair to create garments that are as functional as they are beautiful. Her work is rooted in the principles of slow fashion—prioritizing quality, longevity, and ethical craftsmanship over fleeting trends—while celebrating the timeless artistry of handmade design.

Her studio is a haven of creativity and conscience, where every thread is stitched with intention and care for the planet. When she’s not at the sewing machine, Narelle finds inspiration in her garden, on nature hikes, or curled up with a good book—nurturing the same thoughtful spirit that infuses every piece she creates.
