Emma Brassfield – making creatures great and small, with fabric

Working in the creature fabrication department on  films such as Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Star Wars The Force Awakens is great fun, but full-on, with long hours that meant Emma Brassfield had very limited time to spend with her young children. Things needed to change, but Emma didn’t want to lose her passion for sewing and making. She made a success of making hand-sewn children’s toys, although felt a bit like a one-woman production line at times.

Her childhood desire to be a craft presenter on television may have had a subconscious influence on her decision to start a YouTube channel teaching others how to make projects such as toys, scrunchies and hair bands, cute bags, pencil cases and so much more.
