The Cutter

Figuring out how to make two-dimensional flat plains fit around organic curves is what Claire Sparling does the most in the shop. She also looks after most of the finishing details work.

Chris Black, also known as the Cutter. Responsible for all fabric cutting, sewing machine operation, and ironing. When working, a sharp blade is always within reach.

The Sewing Machine
This industrial Singer sewing machine is the tank in the shop (I'm pretty sure it can go through almost anything).
Who needs a workhorse when you can have an elephant! From the 1940, this machine has stitched many miles of the leather, heavy canvas and who knows what else... when I turned it on I was expecting a loud engine roar but instead it was a soft purr... we call him Steve |
A gift from my husband Alex, Caroline is my traveling companion, if there is work to be done on the road, or if I need a spare for workshops. She has earned her stripes.

Cécile an older twin of Caroline was a gift to my mother from my grandmother in her late teens. Is the backup to Josephine. And also makes the odd road trip and workshop date.
