Emma Birney Cunningham

Haslemere, Surrey

I've been making clothes since I was thirteen and made my first Johnny Depp style pirate shirt (I say my first - it was also my last). I've been sewing ever since and am thrilled to have made my passion into a career. I make wedding dresses, ball dresses and any other kind of garments you can think of as commissions for others and also myself - I'm my own best customer! I juggle family life, sewing and my children's craft party business. The one thing that always stumps me is deciding what to have for dinner, now that's an actual job...
