About Seated Sewing – Adaptive Fashion Studio UK

Seated Sewing is a North East England-based design studio founded by Kat Paylor-Bent, committed to creating stylish, inclusive, and functional fashion specifically for wheelchair users and the wider disabled community.

Their philosophy is grounded in addressing the real-life challenges disabled individuals face when finding clothing that fits and functions correctly. By blending aesthetics with accessibility in every handcrafted piece, they ensure that fashion becomes a tool for empowerment rather than a source of frustration.

The studio specialises in bespoke creations and inclusive accessories that adapt to the user, not the other way around. This approach merges practical accessibility with high-quality design to create garments that are as beautiful as they are functional.
