Hi I’m Chloe - designer, pattern maker, and seamstress at Alyssa Lloyd. Sewing has always been a popular pastime in my family, ever since my Granny insisted on making everything from dresses to skirts and even underwear for her 6 kids in the 50s and 60s!

I didn’t grow up sewing, but rather developed an interest in my 20s where I found it an amazing creative outlet during a particularly stressful time in my life. Fast-forward almost 10 years and I’m now lucky enough to have turned my hobby into a career!

I love sharing my passion for fabric, sewing and pattern making with new people and I look forward to the beautiful things we’ll make together.
