Meet the Artists: threads that bind us
South African sisters Emma and Leila Rowett are the creative duo behind threads that bind us, a collection of handmade home décor inspired by the natural beauty of the Cape.
Their designs are a drawing with thread using free-motion embroidery. Because each piece is created freehand, no two are exactly alike.
Their work features protea, fynbos, landscapes and the occasional figure across a range of timeless soft furnishings. They also create bespoke embroidered pieces, proving that if they can draw it, they can stitch it.
Meet Emma and Leila and see their work during Open Studios Fish Hoek & Clovelly, from 9 to 11 October 2026.
