Yorkshire Born & Thread are passionate about design,pattern cutting, sewing, crafting and making, basically anything creative! We make all our products in our West Yorkshire based studio and where possible sourcing local or British made fabrics/haberdashery but still using some components sourced/made worldwide. Yorkshire Born & Thread (YB&T) was founded by Lisa Gilbert (www.lisagilbert.co.uk) after spending time with fellow passionate sewists when teaching sewing workshops at a local fabric shop Fabricate Roberttown/ Mirfield. Seeing that the locals and so many more from further afield were really passionate to learn different skills, techniques for making their own creations, their need for new challenges & different projects to try. Yorkshire Born & Thread was... well I guess you could say BORN! Here at YB&T we want to share, pass on skills and knowledge giving you the confidence to achieve your creative desires and most of all making your own sewing experience's enjoyable! At Yorkshire Born & Thread we want to promote our #madeinyorkshire #madeinbritain products to really show folk what talented creative skills we have here in Yorkshire & the UK. We want to help & inspire all generations, any age, any gender to be more creative, passing on the practical skills needed to make things by hand. As well as offering own products for sale, options for private tutoring or teaching sewing/pattern cutting workshops to groups. We also offer design services, sample development, pattern, grading work and small production runs.
