Lisa Comfort is a woman on a mission to save the dying art of dress making inspiring women all over London to create there own gorgeous creations.
“I fell in love with sewing aged 11 when I made my first skirt. A year later my parents gave me a sewing machine and I have never looked back since. Despite being teased for my “uncool” hobby, I persevered and carried on sewing. I studied dressmaking and tailoring in Italy before going on to do Surface Textiles and Fashion at the London College of Fashion. I worked for British designer Bruce Oldfield and then bridal couture designer Phillipa Lepley. I set up Sew Over It in a response to the growing feeling that sewing was becoming a lost skill. I hope that I can pass on my passion for sewing through Sew Over It and encourage more people in London to pick up a needle and thread!
I recently had a Dermalogica facial and now I am converted so, I use Ultra calming cleanser every night followed by my multi active toner. For moisturising I use Bobbi Brown eye cream and boots protect and perfect serum. For daytime I always make sure my moisturiser has spf 15.
