Our History
Meet the Team
Hi I'm Nic, founder, owner and head seamstress here at Sunnybank Sewing Services . I am from Trent Vale, Stoke on Trent. I started sewing when I was 6 years old on my mothers sewing machine making cushions with my cousin Dawn. In 1988 I started work in a factory, making army uniforms, M&S trousers and other uniforms for British rail and Rail Track. In 1994 I moved to Chesterfield and worked for a company called Viyella a factory for sewing. So as you can see lots of sewing.
I have always had an eye for detail and creativity so whilst my children were growing up I started DanHan Quilts & Crafts sewn products, then went to work in a factory making medical mattress covers. In 2018 I joined a local clothing alterations company and went on to be their national manager.
Then covid hit in 2021 Sunnybank Sewing Services was born and the rest is history.
This is Cat.
Cat joined us in May 2023.
My Favourite subject at school was textiles so when I left school I decided to do a Art & Design Course at college, which I made a lot of textile items and then went on to another course in Fashion and Clothing. Which I absolutely loved and learned a lot about fabrics and how to pattern cut as well as sew. I left college with a distinction in sewing. When I left college I went to work for a local clothing alteration company and i stayed there for 14 years until I became pregnant with my little boy. I was then offered a job at Sunnybank Sewing Services and took the leap into the team.

I Have always enjoyed sewing as a hobby and after retiring 2 years ago I got myself a new sewing machine to teach my eldest granddaughter how to sew.
I am very good with a needle and thread and have an eye for detail. So when Nic offered me a position to become part of the team I jumped at the opportunity.
