Philosophy

What gets your creative juices flowing? For me it’s gorgeous fabric, vibrant colour, and using my imagination and hands to create beautiful things.

I believe that surrounding ourselves with colours and textures we love, wearing well-made clothes that make us feel great, and feeling connected to the people around us make life better.

Red Thread started in 2005 as a clothing line for children. In 2015 it grew to include women's clothing and a fabric shop (at www.studiofabricshop.com).

Now it's changing again, to include sewing patterns, home goods, bags and quilts, and these new products will be launching in 2026. I hope you'll enjoy this evolution and feel inspired to bring more handmade joy into your everyday life!

The name “Red Thread” was inspired by a lovely Chinese proverb I discovered when I adopted my daughter Samantha from China in 2003: “An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet regardless of time, place or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle but will never break.” I love the image of being connected to others by invisible threads, and hope that knowing something about the inspiration behind these designs helps create this feeling of connection for you.
