Speaker 2025

Jennifer Fitzpatrick

Jennifer Fitzpatrick is the passionate force behind Sew Your Own Clothes. More than just a sewing & pattern drafting specialist, she's on a mission to empower women through the transformative art of sewing. For Jennifer, learning to sew is a radical act of self-discovery and liberation. It's about reclaiming your body in a world of unrealistic beauty standards, unleashing your creativity, expressing your authentic self and connecting with a sustainable way of living. Through her sewing workshops, she empowers women to become active creators of their own wardrobes, enabling them to make clothes that fit their bodies, not the other way around! As a mum of three daughters, Jennifer is driven to show the next generation the beauty of self-sufficiency and skill - there is so much power in that! (And she wants to raise powerful women!) Join Jennifer as she creates a unique garment live at the Festival, showcasing the power and potential of slow, mindful making.
