About me
Andi Bowen
I’m a dressmaker, pattern maker and sewing teacher with over a decade of experience working across fashion, bridal, and custom design. Bespoke Stitchery is the evolution of my practice - a blend of my love for beautifully crafted garments and my commitment to sharing the skills that keep traditional dressmaking alive. I believe in thoughtful, sustainable design, and in garments that are made to last, to fit, and to mean something.

Services
I offer a range of custom design services, pattern making, and sewing courses - crafted for independent sewists, designers, small labels and anyone with a creative vision they’re ready to bring to life. Whether you're developing your first sample, building a collection, or just beginning your sewing journey, I approach each project with a focus on slow fashion, sustainability, and the art of making with care. If you're curious about how we could work together, I'd love to hear from you.
