Meet the maker Sarah Leaver

I am a Contemporary Knitwear Designer at present I am establishing my business, based in Brighton. I make knitted fashion accessories with a mixture of machine and hand knitted fabrics, I also make accessories from recycled fabrics. I am currently working on a range of chunky hand knitted fashion accessories using recycled materials, knitting with video tape and sourceing unwanted or surplus yarns to knit with as well as reusing fabrics. I aim to produce eco-friendly products by reusing all types of materials, my products provide a small solution to what can be done with your unwanted materials in a stylish and practical way. I am very aware of how the textile industry needs to be more conscious of its carbon foot print, and how easily we dispose of clothing/materials, everyone needs to do there bit.
