Lou is a designer/ maker working from Oxfordshire, UK.

Lou began her sewing journey not long after her first daughter was born. Having hated sewing in school she didn't hold out much hope for this new hobby sticking, but it did!

Lou was instantly hooked on the amazing feeling that comes from creating something with your own hands. Soon followed the discovery of the world of modern, designer fabrics and the rest, they say, is history!

Lou’s designs regularly feature in many sewing and quilting magazines and Lou can also be found giving live quilting and sewing demos for TV channel, Sewing Street and for interfacing and wadding brand, Vlieseline.

In 2018 Lou launched her own brand of PDF patterns which you can find here. You can also find Lou on Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook as @louorthdesigns and also on Lou’s website and blog louorthdesigns.com
