Robin Timpson
I began sewing at the age of six, learning the craft form from my mother, who not only taught me the technical skills but also instilled in me a deep appreciation for quality fabrics. She showed me how to repurpose discarded high-end materials — like luxurious drapes and cashmere coats — transforming them into beautiful new creations. This early exposure sparked a lasting passion for both design and sustainable practices, and as I grew older, my love for reimagining and reusing fabric only flourished. https://www.facebook.com/recreationsbyrobin
