Lucy Sparrow - Sew your Soul

Inside Felt HQ

At the heart of Sew Your Soul is artist Lucy Sparrow — the felt mastermind behind every hand-stitched and painted soft sculpture.

But behind the scenes of every perfectly sewn felted creation is a small but mighty team who keep the studio ticking, the cats out of the paint (mostly), and the deadlines met. From fabric cutting, sewing, painting and packing to filming and editing — the magic that happens at Sew Your Soul is thanks to everyone involved.

Soft art, hard work, and a lot of tea (or coffee if you prefer). That’s the Sew Your Soul way.
