I always knew I wanted to be a creator. When I was a kid, I was always drawing and painting and reading and writing. I loved making things out of nothing – creating worlds and characters that lived only in my imagination and on the page. I still enjoy writing. But I knew, even then, that something was missing. It was completely by chance that I fell into sewing just under ten years ago. Since then, I’ve been making all sorts of creations through my small business – Emily Reginalds – while working with various theatre companies either front or back of house. More than just a hobby, theatre has become a second home for me.
