About Hoop Hoop Hooray: Hoop Hoop Hooray was started by Elise as a hobby business over 8 years ago because of her love of embroidery and her desire to share her passion with others. With a background in education, she is an experienced, friendly, and patient teacher who has run numerous embroidery workshops with people of all ages and ability.
Due to the resurgence in mending as a response to the growing sustainability movement, Elise has been involved in facilitating Visible Mending workshops across Perth. Her aim is to normalise mending and build a community to inspire others, to save textiles going into landfill.
