About Me

Originally from Japan, classically trained as a sample-maker with a strong technical foundation, working with a range of designers in Tokyo in early 1990s. I bring a versatile skill set including dressmaking, knitting, crochet, embroidery and hand-painted prints.

I moved to the U.K. in 2001 and offered limited services to designers while my children were young. During that time, I discovered seamstressing as a way to connect with the local community. I have been the Palace Seamstress since 2017 and am proud to be part of Crystal Palace.

Now I work closely with independent designers, collaborating on creative projects. My approach centres on mindful construction, attention to detail and respect for materials.

I bring the same care and sustainable mindset to bridal alterations.
