Maker's Story: We are two sisters with a passion for sewing. We use recycled and vintage fabrics to make an eclectic range of products. We love to trawl through second hand shops and markets to find fabrics that inspire us. We pride ourselves on the fact that at least 90% of the materials used for each product is recycled or reused.
Made by swimmer evolved from a women's art group we were involved with at our local school.Our work is driven by the fabrics that we find in second hand outlets and flea markets - we find something and think 'that would make a great....' or sometimes we just buy something because it's beautiful and months later, a use for it will come into our heads. It must be in the genes but we share very similar ideas and rarely disagree on the finished work.
