Meet Barbara

I began sewing as a teenager, making my own clothes from patterns I tweaked and fabrics I fell in love with. What started as a creative outlet quickly became a lifelong passion.

My passion for sewing drives me to create one-of-a-kind accessories that blend beauty with practicality and style. Each piece is crafted with attention to detail and a personal touch you won’t find in mass-produced items.

Values

  • Sustainability

    Through careful sourcing and reuse we champion the beauty and creativity of working with what's already available — helping reduce waste and showcasing the art of thoughtful making.

  • Functionality

    Designed for everyday or occasional use, each item combines quality and durability with practical features you’ll love.

  • Uniqueness

    Each design is limited because of the materials we use — perfect for those who love something special.

Mission

Sew Unique’s mission is to create stylish, handmade accessories that celebrate individuality and self-expression.

I am committed to using locally sourced, limited quantity and repurposed materials wherever possible - embracing sustainable practices that honour both people and the planet.

Each piece is carefully made with love and attention to detail, ensuring it’s not only beautiful but designed to last.

I believe in the magic of handmade — where each piece carries a personal touch and reflects the passion and dedication of its maker.
