Hello & welcome to my world!

I create exquisite machine & commercial embroidery.

My interest in embroidery started at an early age with my wonderful Granny Mary, who introduced me to the joy of French knots. I come from a family of sheep farmers, with a court dressmaker in the mix, and parents who met at a textile mill so I believe fibres are in my bloodstream.

I graduated with an Honours degree in Embroidery from Manchester University and after a period of primary school teaching, 17 years! I started Heather Everitt Embroidery, full time in 2002.

Soon we will move the business to new premises and combine my fine art, bespoke and newly acquired commercial embroidery aspect into one.

Here, alongside a purpose built studio will be a large room for classes where I can’t wait to share all aspects of embroidery with you!

Craftsmanship & design.

My love of textiles started with my Granny Mary, teaching me how to sew at an early age. Clothes for my dolls being an important project. I went on to study for a degree in Embroidery, three fantastic years learning from top practitioners. 
Drawing and painting feeds everything I create. The natural world is my inspiration. I adore colour, especially when reflected in the richness of silk and Liberty of London prints. Threads, beads and sequins delight me, making me long to create. Perfection drives me, I approach a piece of embroidery like a painting adding detail, working out composition, negative and positive space, contrast and accent.
For the future, with the addition of a purpose built studio, workshop and classroom, I am excited to share my embroidery journey. It’s a world that inspires and enriches. I hope that either by attending a class, commissioning or purchasing a piece you can love it as much as I do.
