For those who may not know me, I’m Karen from The Sewing Studio IOW, located at the IOW Pearl. 

As a passionate fashion designer and sewing instructor, I’ve spent years sharing my love for all things creative, from costume making and bridal wear design to leading sewing classes since 2009. Over the years, I’ve watched our community's creative spirit grow, and I’ve long felt that the Isle of Wight could benefit from a special event that brings together the incredible talents we have here but to also invite mainland companies that have unique items we on the island would be interested in buying or new ideas we would like to try . 

That’s why I’m thrilled to announce something new and exciting
