Morag Seaton

Morag is her name and the name of her studio, where she makes sewn objects inspired by research and observations of everyday clothing rituals, pocket use, and other acts of dressing. Trained in fashion design, creative pattern cutting and garment construction, Morag applies her craft to the body, common objects, art and architectural spaces. The resulting works include large pockets, tailored or modular garments, soft furnishings, bags and dressed-up furniture. 

Each piece is made using circular or zero-waste methods, and high-quality materials that are locally sourced, or repurposed from deadstock and post-production waste.

Pockets have become a signature of Morag’s work that she continues to revisit due to her interest in the intricate details of their construction, their history of inequality and power, and the intimate ways in which they are used.
