She then went on to train as a teacher in Art and Textiles, working for 15 years in the U.K. and across the globe in America, the Middle East and Prague.

She ignited Jackie's passion for textiles and creativity at a young age, showing her how to sew and use a machine. Cynthia takes on many challenges in our alterations such as custom cushions, curtains and tricky repairs, she has a solution to every problem! When Cynthia is not at Make-it Happen, she's planting up beautiful blooms for Leominster in Bloom.
