The Uig Seamstress
Handcrafted Garments
Specialist in Harris Tweed Womenswear

The Story Behind the Seams
It all began with a storybook, a love for tiny stitched clothes, and a second-hand sewing pattern bought with saved-up Saturday job wages. I’ve been sewing ever since. From those early days of learning on my own, to years spent alongside skilled makers, and later studying heritage dressmaking here in the Outer Hebrides—my path has always been stitched together by tradition, creativity, and care. Now, settled in Uig on the Isle of Lewis, I create garments that reflect the values I’ve carried all along: sustainability, craftsmanship, and a deep connection to place. Every piece I make tells a story—quiet, considered, and made to last.

“Totally chuffed with my new top. It's lovely and cosy and 100% wool and I'll be able to wear it for many years. Hattie can work to commission so I'd totally recommend her services if you're looking for a gift!”
— Elsie, Mangersta

"Hattie did a lovely job of the bed set - We are really chuffed with how it turned out!"
— Julie, Beach Bothies
