A course by By Hand London
Elisalex is the founder of By Hand London sewing patterns, where she encourages and supports people who want to create their own made to measure clothes. Sewing, knitting, crochet, and DIY have always been her sanctuary. Elisalex delved back into the world of making with an old school friend when taking time off work to be a full-time mum. Motivated by the ability to breathe new life into dressmaking through social media, they founded By Hand London in 2012.
Since then, By Hand London’s reputation for original patterns has prevailed, with many more available sizes and patterns to choose from on their online store. The brand has recently collaborated with John Lewis to create printed patterns and Elisalex was awarded Designer of the month in August 2021 by Craft World.
