Allow us to introduce Stitch Yourself Together, a collection of three handwoven artworks that redefine traditional craftsmanship and artistry. Each piece narrates a story of contrast and harmony, inviting you to explore the intricate dance between materials and techniques.
These artworks are meticulously crafted using the double cloth technique on a floor loom to showcase a passion for pushing creative boundaries. Each piece showcases a unique texture and depth by weaving two layers simultaneously with a blend of hand-dyed Seacell yarn, Japanese paper yarn, silk boucle, and ramie. The careful selection of contrasting fibres and changes in fabric density create an intricate interplay of light and shadow.
These artworks are a unique way to add a touch of craftsmanship and creativity to commercial settings like hotels, restaurants, or offices, making them a great choice for interior designers and businesses looking to elevate their spaces.

The “Stitch Yourself Together” collection emerged from a desire to explore textile art beyond functionality, challenging the perceived value of fabric. Inspired by lockdown reflections, it employs loom controlled stitched marks symbolising resilience and strength. Through deep dives into embroidery’s history and symbolism, the collection explores the human tradition of adorning ourselves with hidden messages. The weaving process contrasts denser, stronger weaves with softer, yielding ones, reflecting outer facades versus inner selves. The materials used in this textile piece are a blend of hand-dyed Seacell warp and paper yarn weft. This combination creates a textured and intricate appearance, representing the idea of strength within fragility. The artwork blurs the line between art and functionality and encourages viewers to contemplate the deep and meaningful stories woven into the fabric.
