Maker's bio

I am a local mum of two and sewing and teaching have been a constant love in my life. I am a qualified adult literacy teacher who specialised in teaching teenagers, helping me to develop lots of patience! I have been teaching sewing 'officially' since 2015. I love sharing my passion and helping others realise what they can achieve too. There is nothing better than seeing the look of pride as people leave my studio with their makes. I love the creativity of free motion machine embroidery.

Jan smith reviewed: Sew an individual rainbow picnic blanket in Derbyshire

"I’m not a sewer. I have had the best time. I cannot believe I have made this lovely picnic rug. Louise is a very good teacher, she has inspired me to carry on and hopefully make beautiful items, with her guidance of course."

"Thank you Jan!"

Julia Smith reviewed: Sew an individual rainbow picnic blanket in Derbyshire

"What a fabulous course. I came away with something that I still can’t believe that I made. Louise is such an amazing teacher and her ideas and flair with fabric colours and fun projects is second to none. I am so proud of my picnic rug, although it will never be sat on on the dirty ground!!!! I love it too much."

Sew Need a Drink responded:

"Thank you so much for your lovely review Julia! You should be proud - your mat was gorgeously made."

Sarah Woolf reviewed: Sew a padded wine bottle bag (with divider & personalised quote) in Derbyshire

"I was a complete sewing machine novice until I came on my first sewneedadrink course 6 months ago. Lou is fantastic, calm, patient and above all, she has given me a love of sewing! I’ve tried a variety of her courses, including making a skirt that I wear regularly. I’ve even brought my 8 year old to her family learning sessions and she now has a sewing machine too. Don’t hesitate to book a place on a course!"
