Emma Newman is the designer behind Gathering Thread and creates beautiful fabric collections inspired by her lifelong love of sewing, textiles and handmade creativity.

Emma’s introduction to sewing began at just eight years old when her mother sat her down at a sewing machine. Although she broke the needle almost immediately, it certainly didn’t put her off. Instead, it sparked a lasting love of making and creating.

Her fabric designs have a wonderful vintage quality, combining florals, traditional motifs and carefully considered colour palettes that work beautifully for patchwork and quilting.

At Megelles, we love Emma Newman’s collections for their timeless character and the way the prints coordinate so naturally together.
