Hi, I’m Melanie! It’s good to see you here.

Sew Some More is a legacy of passion, resourcefulness, and the art of creation passed down through generations.

My journey began when my Mum, faced with the challenge of limited resources and a love for dance, started making her own costumes. My Nan didn't sew and money was tight, so mum embraced the needle and thread bringing her visions to life. This tradition continued as she stitched every childhood dance costume for me, igniting the flame of creativity in our family.

The bug of sewing and designing didn't stop there; it was passed on to me. What started as creating adorable baby clothes for friends' little ones evolved when a friend asked for a custom leotard. Sew Some More was born – a tribute to the rich tapestry of familial creativity and a dedication to providing uniquely crafted dancewear.

Every stitch tells a story, and with Sew Some More, you become part of a narrative woven with love, passion, and the joy of creating something truly special.

Driven by my love of sewing and an innate desire to bring visions to life, I founded Sew Some More.

My dedication to creating one-of-a-kind designs stems from a belief in the power of individuality.

Whether it's a dance costume or a unique piece created for someone's special moment, I thrive on the art of making someone’s dream a reality.

Meet the force behind Sew Some More. I have been a professional performer since 2006, with a dance career that has taken me to captivating places around the globe, including some of the world's most incredible theatres. I am still performing, bringing dynamic energy and my unique style to audiences both at home and abroad. In addition to my prowess on the stage I am an accomplished stilt walker, gymnast, an aerialist, and a fire performer.

Beyond the spotlight, I find joy in the art of renovation, a passion reflected by my ability to transform houses into homes. Balancing pirouettes with paintbrushes, I embrace the dual worlds of dance and design with unwavering enthusiasm.

I am also a dedicated dance educator. I share my wealth of knowledge and passion for the art at Tring Park School for the Performing Arts and other dance projects, nurturing the next generation of performers with my expertise and infectious love for dance.
