Hello and welcome! I’m Sarah Elizabeth Best, a UK based surface pattern designer with a deep love for fabric and quirky, offbeat prints. My journey in textile design began with a BA Honours in Interior Textiles, where I specialized in creating handmade rugs from recycled materials. This foundation instilled in me a lifelong commitment to sustainability and creativity.
For the past decade, I’ve immersed myself in sewing my own clothes, proudly spending five years without purchasing a single item of clothing. This experience has sharpened my eye for sourcing and curating unusual and unique prints, always on the lookout for something that stands out.
In September 2023, while on holiday, I had an epiphany: I could design my own fabrics and create garments from my own designs. This realization sparked a transformative journey. After a year of intense studying, practicing, making mistakes, and learning, I’m thrilled to announce that my first repeat pattern design is now ready to be launched into the world.
Join me as I embark on this exciting new chapter, combining my passion for print with a commitment to sustainability. Together, let's celebrate the beauty of unique design and mindful creation.
where I will be sharing behind the scenes updates from my studio, top tips on how to use your fabric scraps and early viewing of my new pattern collections.
