Sally Hutson MA

Sally Hutson has a rich background in creative sewing and needlework. She is a textile historian with a diverse collection ranging from vintage to new, which serves as inspiration for her work. Sally's passion for sewing dates back to her early years, starting with her beloved old-fashioned treadle machine that she convinced her uncle to upgrade to electricity and now primarily uses her trusted Bernina machines.

Throughout her career, she has had various roles including residential child care officer, country club manager, publican, restaurateur, loss adjuster, historian, publican, teacher, lecturer, and most importantly, a mother. Despite her diverse experiences, Sally's love for textiles and their histories has remained constant, driving her to continuously seek knowledge.

Her journey led her to become the Department deputy Head of the Art and Design department in both College and University settings.  Here, she not only taught but also inspired others to explore the world of textiles through their own creations.

Sally has shared her expertise in various educational institutions including Universities, Colleges, Private schools, and more.

Her work has been published, exhibited, and sold worldwide, with pieces residing in private collections.

Sally Hutson holds a MA in textiles and anthropology.
