About me…

Being a 70’s child, I grew up in a family where making your own clothes was the norm. It was almost inevitable that I went on to study Fashion Design & Pattern Cutting after leaving school.

Since graduating I have had a long and successful career in the Fashion industry, resulting in me going on to run my own successful business.

Then Covid hit and with the fashion industry at a standstill, everything changed. It was at this time I got my gorgeous Cockerpoo, Scruffy. As any dog owner knows, the battle of keeping your dog clean and dry in bad weather is a challenge.

Not one to sit idle, I used my experience to make Scruffy her first fleece coat. It took me quite by surprise when I was stopped by people asking where her coat was from, and so Not So Scruffy was born. Through word of mouth and recommendations alone, Not So Scruffy has gone from strength to strength, reaching to all corners of the UK and I absolutely love it.
