I am a pattern designer, a prolific maker and sewer. You can follow my work on instagram @ariikestudio and Ariike Sewing Studio on youtube.  I learnt from my mother who was a dressmaker.  I later went  on to fashion school and ran my own fashion label for a while before changing course and training as a lawyer.  I practised law for almost 15 years until an unexpected interruption which fortunately led me back to my passion. I make everything from clothes to bags and now I have created a textile toy monkey  ('Tata') which is a registered UK design. I own 2 labels, Tata and Ariike Studio.  You will find me in my studio in South West London and on Youtube at Ariike Sewing Studio
