Sarah Ponsonby
Since graduating in 2012 with a BA in Fashion, I’ve been working with some of the well-known Highstreet fashion brands in the UK developing new products and looking at fabric innovation. In 2019 I started my business, Stitches, teaching various textile classes around Cambridgeshire. It’s a real joy for me, giving others the ability to express themselves in a creative way and seeing my pupils work come to actuality.
