Meet Rebecca and Emily
We are Rebecca Harrison and Emily Kingston-Lee and have been friends for over 30 years.
We both attended the London College of Fashion studying Theatrical Costume, however not at the same time as there is 5 years between us!
Our paths crossed at Angels the Costumiers in London and we hit it off straight away. After working alongside each other for a couple of years we went our separate ways working at The Royal Opera House and the RSC, but still very much kept in touch. Then, as we started our families we became freelance costumiers.
This continues to be a wonderful period in our lives, working for West End Theatres and Opera Houses, Broadway and everything inbetween.
Now we are thrilled to bring you Needle in Hand, sewing patterns we hope you will love and reuse over and over again. We look forward to expanding our collection to give you your perfect wardrobe.
Coast to Coast
After the excitement of launching our new company exclusively on Sewing Street on 11th September, we are going on a much needed ‘rest’, and will be walking Wainwright’s famous Coast to Coast route to raise money for Cancer Research and The Renton Unit in Hereford Hospital, charities close to both of our hearts. As a result of being out in the wilderness The Rebecca Blouse and The Emily Skirt will only be available as a Pre-Order from the 25th September until the 20th October when we will be back and able to package and ship them.
