Matt finds sewing therapeutic and enjoys the engineering side of making a garment. He has often found himself the butt of his friends’ jokes for his more classically feminine hobby, though all of their wives are jealous of Gemma’s constantly growing new wardrobe!

Matt has recently challenged himself to increase his skills by branching out into more tailored garments.
