About the Author

Laura Strutt is a freelance journalist and former Editor of Craft Business Magazine, and in 2009 she launched Sew magazine, which she ran until 2012, when she decided to embark on a freelance career. Laura has written 14 creative lifestyle books and is passionate about living an intentional life.

Making environmentally conscious choices has always been one of Laura's core values, and in recent years (since having children) she has discovered that there is much more to the subject than buying products branded 'eco-friendly'.

She is keen to keep up the conversation about sustainable living and to inspire people to create a different kind of fashion footprint - one with a smaller environmental impact.

As well as writing, Laura is also a passionate textile designer, and she sells her patterns and work on her website, madepeachy.com.
