About Me

 About Me

Hi my name is Emily and I own the Emi B Designs sewing school here in Barnsley. At the moment I teach all the classes too. 

As some of you may know Emi B Designs started at a Bussing where I made a variety of items such as bags, homewares and accessories and then sold them at craft fairs and markets after studying Fashion and Clothing at college where I learnt dressmaking, pattern cutting and other fashion related subjects. 

in 2016 I taught my first sewing classes and from then did it as a part time thing in different shops until the beginning of 2018 I decided to go at it full time. 

In May 2018 i changed the direction of my Business to sewing kits and sewing patterns all written by me and I took part in Barnsley Youth Market which I went on and won. I was then able to go to the national competition in Stratford Upon Avon at the end of August where I won a highly commended award. I was and still am over the moon. 

I had such great feedback from judges at both competitions and my business began to grow I was being asked for classes in Barnsley. This is when the sewing school was born. In October 2018 I opened the doors to a creative sewing place. I run classes for everyone and they have been a great success and continue to grow.
