Jane Cowdry
Taught to sew by her mother, Jane Cowdry made curtains for many years for friends, family and her own home before setting up LilyMatthews in 2009. Initially working by herself, she quickly gained a reputation for beautiful hand-sewn curtains and blinds and great customer service. On word of mouth alone the business grew rapidly and she expanded the brand to include an online range of soft furnishings and outdoor all weather items to cope with British summers. The company now has a team of makers.
