SAMMY BISHOP

Sammy is the founder, designer and maker behind Paraffle Embroidery, an online pattern, kit and haberdashery shop. She runs everything from her studio in Edinburgh, the city where she first discovered the craft. During her PhD studies, she was looking for a comforting hobby and before she knew it she was designing her own embroidery patterns. Now, with her partner Ali by her side, Paraffle is going from strength to strength.
