I'm Amy, I live in North Yorkshire and I love to sew! I have done since I was young and have spent more hours than I can count sat behind my sewing machine or with a needle and thread in my hand.

​

​

I love to be creative and see the fruits of my labour at the end of each day, so when I got the opportunity to go part time in my day job in 2020, I started Dress By Amy by selling handmade children's clothes at artisan markets in and around my local area. 

​

 

Although I loved the market experience, I realised that what makes me most happy is making clothes for myself; developing my dressmaking skills and sharing the knowledge that I have built up over  the years to help others who are learning to sew and make their own clothes.

​

 

This website started as just a blog to record the garments I make, the patterns I use and the dressmaking inspiration that I discover, with some sewing tutorials mixed in.  Now, it is a hub for all of the elements which make up the Dress By Amy brand - from in person sewing lessons and workshops, to shopping on Etsy and The British Craft House, to educational sewing content on YouTube.

​

​

Having spent 25 years in the corporate world, I am now lucky enough to call sewing and dressmaking my business and am looking forward to where it takes me.
