Did I mention Matthew was a contestant on the Great British Sewing Bee Series 9? He is very easy to chat to and so supportive of the people around him. Matthew is a huge fan of Esme.

You'll hear his story and the type of sewing he is known for. Matthew breaks the rules and is always interested in showing a bit of skin with his designs. I love his plaid fabric works
