ALL ABOUT THE NEEDL

The NeedL was founded by me, Stephanie Garbutt, out of my love for making things and sewing. After closing my bridal label in the dark days of 2020, I needed a creative outlet of a smaller scale to keep me stitching through the tough days of a global pandemic and raising my babies.

 

I believe in the vitalness of sustainability, but love the effects on wellbeing that comes from making beautiful things so I started with embroidery kits with usefulness woven into them.  Discovering so many lovely people who admire my products but are not in love with making lead me to create a range of gifts and keepsakes made by me, and I also created a range of art prints for an easy pop of NeedL style for your home.

​

From cushions to kidswear and tote bags to t-shirts you'll find my handwritten style works on almost anything!

A little more about me...

​

I studied Fashion Design at University and have worked in the industry for 20 years.  I am a Yorkshire-raised London-dweller who's recently quit the capital for life just outside of the M25 where I live with my gorgeous little girls and uncrafty partner. I love making things with my kids, for my kids, and for your kids too! I love organising and living with less for the sake of our lovely planet, so using reclaimed and unwanted fabrics is at the core of what I do.  Home makeover shows are my guilty pleasure and making people laugh and cooking delicious food are my runner-up loves.
