We love our Brand Ambassador Team and we want you to get to know them! This team is comprised of many of our “mega-fans” and they spend a lot of their time helping us promote our patterns. Each ambassador brings their own unique selves to the table and we love watching what they do. So, we wanted to take some time on the blog to highlight one ambassador every now and then. Eventually, you’ll know them all, if you don’t already.

How She Got Started
Leigh’s mum used to sew her clothes as a child and she taught her as she went. She received her first sewing machine from her mother-in-law which she used for small projects initially before starting to make clothes for her daughter about 14 years ago. She began with woven fabric and within a year had moved on to knits and her first overlocker before deciding to try sewing for herself which she has been doing for around 5 years now. Leigh makes a lot of adjustments to her patterns to get the perfect fit for her, and she now has a wardrobe of clothes that fit her exactly how she wants them to and she wears me-made clothes every day. Over the past two years, she has been moving into bag making which she absolutely loves. Some of her favorite fabric bases to work with are athletics, French Terry, and canvas.


5 out of 4 Experience
The Nancy Raglan pattern was Leigh’s first love but her most made is the Easy Tee. She loves creating clothes for herself & her daughter and is always looking to learn more. At some point, she wants to try to stretch her skills and sew an underwired bra. Her first test as a beginner was for the Diane Joggers and she hasn’t looked back since and loves being in the thick of seeing the pattern start out and developed throughout the testing process while learning along the way. Leigh is also a part of the 5 out of 4 Family group and enjoys the community she has there.
