Donna Mifsud

A self-taught sewer, Donna has always had a passion for sewing and creating.
As a very young girl she hand-stitched clothes for her Barbie Dolls and then discovered an old sewing machine at the back of her Grandmother’s cupboard and has been an avid sewer ever since. 
Donna has experimented and created with many different fabric art forms, including, screen printing, silk painting, fabric dying, hand embroidery, and honed her skills at High School where she majored in sewing and art.
 
As an adult, Donna has furthered her skill set by attending many creative workshops throughout her life, but it is her passion for fabric that sets her apart.
The key to Donna’s success is her ability in sourcing unique fabrics from all over the world specialising in vintage, rare and limited-edition prints, including designs by Indigenous artists, which are her favourite choices for her extensive range of soft furnishings that are created at her home studio on the Redlands Coast.
Donna has exhibited & sold her works on Stradbroke Island, Mount Tamborine and is currently one of the resident artists of Straddievarious Gallery on Raby Bay Harbour, in Cleveland.
