Hello!
My name is Emma Prestidge. I’m a 30 something-year-old hobby sewist from Wellington, New Zealand.
‘Emma’s Atelier’ reflects my artistic background and my love of design.
I was lucky to be bought up by a family which fostered creativity. I graduated with a masters degree from the University of Auckland – Elam School of Fine Arts. After graduation, I went on to work in the Arts as both an artist and curator. Now I work in a corporate role.
I’ve always had a passion for design, print, colour and textiles. I love sewing one-off garments for myself and my husband.
Community is important to me. I love to collaborate with like-minded companies and individuals. I’ve worked with a number of companies including Drapers Fabrics and Bernina New Zealand.
I hope you enjoy following my making journey! Follow me over on Instagram and Facebook.
