Studio & Story

The Attic Stitch is a studio rooted in plants, textiles, and slow making.

Founded by Sue Law, natural dyer and textile artist, the work begins with fabric, flowers, and time. Each piece is handmade using natural-dyed textiles, created in Sue’s home studio on the North Shore of Massachusetts.

Sue has been drawing, painting, sewing, and stitching since childhood. With a background in plant biology and scientific training, her creative practice sits at the intersection of curiosity and care—where observation, experimentation, and handwork come together. Discovering botanical dyeing opened a new path: a way to combine scientific inquiry, artistic intuition, and craft into one thoughtful process.

In summer, the work moves outdoors. Sue grows dye flowers in her backyard garden, harvests blooms, and forages natural materials. These plants are transformed into pigments through hand-dyeing—slowly extracted, layered, and guided by season. The process becomes a way to reconnect with nature and with a quieter inner rhythm, finding balance and harmony through making.

Established in 2020, The Attic Stitch brings naturally dyed textiles into everyday life—objects meant to be used, lived with, and appreciated over time. Alongside solo work, the studio also embraces collaboration with other artists, sharing skills, materials, and ideas rooted in respect for craft and nature.

Each piece carries the trace of hand, plant, and place—an invitation to slow down and notice the beauty in simple, well-made things.
