Janette Sumner

With over 35 years of experience in dressmaking, I bring traditional skills into modern, meaningful projects. I run slow stitch and community workshops, helping people connect through creativity while learning sustainable skills. Through initiatives like the “Make It Wearable” and “The Ripple Effect” community projects, I encourage repairing, reusing and reimagining textiles. I also lead a local craft group, where I share my passion for all things crafts.
