Rebecca Cole

Author of All Access Sewing

Rebecca, or Becky as she is affectionately known, picked up sewing as a hobby at age 7. She has been sewing for over 30 years, with 20 years professional experience.

She trained at the London College of Fashion as a Period Pattern Cutter for Film, Television, and Theatre, graduating with honours.

After securing a BBC training placement with a costume team on a children’s drama, Rebecca spent the first years of her professional life working up from the position of costume trainee to Supervisor, working on many high profile projects such as Waking The Dead, Primeval, The IT Crowd, Black Mirror, Misfits, Worst Week of My Life, The Robinsons, My Hero, and Big Top, and with well-known actors such as Sophie Thompson, Martin Freeman, Hugh Bonneville, Sue Johnston, Tony Robinson, Anna Massey, Ben Miller, Amanda Holden, and Olivia Colman.

In 2009, after deciding to focus on starting her family, Rebecca made the decision to move away from the television industry and transfer her sewing and pattern cutting skills to making bespoke wedding gowns and evening wear.

In 2018 Rebecca was invited to join the team at Create & Craft TV, sharing her knowledge and expertise with viewers, demonstrating sewing machines and fabrics, working with brands such as Brother, Craft Cotton Co, Tilda, Moda, Highlight Crafts, Marathon, and Oliso. A job which she loves and still does today.
