We are a family from Ukraine who have been living and working in the UK for over 17 years. Our backgrounds were unrelated to the interior design business. But we always love craft , had ambitions, and lots of ideas. Our shared passion and belief in each other led us to start Kott Soft Furnishings. Our busy working studio is nestled in the beautiful countryside of Hampshire, UK. I’ve worked as a curtain maker for over 10 years and it's my absolute love and passion. After being overwhelmed with orders, my husband joined me, leaving his previous job. He does upholstery and fitting and has become an integral part of our family business. We are happy and united more than ever. Together, we provide a comprehensive service, from initial measurements and fabric selection to the final fitting. Our children also enjoy helping out, and perhaps one day, they will carry on our family business.

410 - Listener Favorite - Laurie Gutberlet
Laurie Gutberlet began her business in February 2020. Her one-person, small workroom is located in the Atlantic Coast region of Bethany Beach, DE. The catalyst for Laurie's “startup” is largely due to the relationship built and training received from Susan Woodcock atWorkroom Tech. Laurie has a life-long love of sewing and always thought about doing professional work. She figured “If not now, when?” Her company name—SeaGlass Seams, LLC—is largely based on her location. My work to date includes draperies, cushions, roman shades, valances, bedding, and those random projects of “can you sew this for me?”
