Sophie Pattinson, a self-described hip hop loving Mancunian, handcrafts bold and rousing textile art, from vibrant slogan banners to unique fabric pieces.

For People’s History Museum, Sophie created and hand-produced a bespoke ‘colloquialisms’ range. A celebration of Manchester’s spirit, proudly displayed on her signature pennant banners.

When she’s not stitching up statements, Sophie runs a tiny independent bookshop, @dinnersinthedogbooks, based in Manchester’s Pollard Yard Container Hub.
