About the Author

As a child, Rehana Begum watched her mother creating colorful outfits for her daughters on an industrial sewing machine, and by 13 she knew her future lay in fashion. With a BA in fashion design from Central Saint Martin's, she mastered tailoring and pattern cutting on Savile Row and designed for brands including All Saints, Matthew Williamson, and Ozwald Boateng. Having taught dressmaking to women in Lagos and Port Harcourt, Nigeria, she now shares her passion and knowledge at her London school, Sew it with Love.
