Laura Westerberg is proof that one woman, a sewing machine and a pile of other people's cast-offs can build something extraordinary. Raised on a farm in WA's Great Southern and now running her own with her husband and two kids, Laura has always followed the creative spark from dance to hat-making before finally landing on the thing she was born to do: turning trash into treasure, one stitch at a time.

 

Laura’s creative roots began with sewing, teaching herself the craft 14 years ago and eventually turning her passion for upcycling into Is Olde. Today, that same instinct to create, repurpose and see potential in the everyday is at the heart of her content.

 

Through With Laura, Laura brings together fashion, sewing, thrifting, DIY, home, gardening and farm life, sharing the projects, transformations and real-life moments that come with building a more creative and considered way of living. From upcycling second-hand finds and refreshing her wardrobe to building a greenhouse, growing her own food and tackling hands-on projects around the farm, Laura’s content naturally lends itself to brands across a broad range of categories.

 

But Laura's world doesn't stop at the sewing machine, it's a full-blown, thriving, 25-acre lifestyle brand waiting to happen. Picture a working farm with a flock of 40 sheep, four cheeky pet goats, geese on lawn-mowing duty, ducks on pest patrol, a guinea fowl squad, a coop full of happy hens, honey-making bees and Honey the cow rounding out the crew (alongside the family dog, Sooti). Add a sprawling veggie patch and orchard that keeps the family fed, a house full of DIY makeovers and second-hand finds given new life, and you've got a woman living and documenting the exact kind of slow, sustainable, joyfully imperfect life that audiences can't get enough of right now. Laura shares it all: the wins, the works-in-progress and the real, unfiltered version of farm life that makes her content so easy to fall into.

 

And she's not just selling a lifestyle; she's living proof that you can change your story. Laura carried lifelong anxiety that deepened after becoming a mother, and after a series of turning points in 2024, she came out the other side. She talks about it openly, honestly and with real hindsight, because she knows there's someone out there who needs to hear "you're not alone" from someone who's actually been there.

 

Multifaceted, magnetic and completely herself, Laura is on a mission to inspire other women to stop hiding the messy, many-sided parts of who they are, take the leap even when they might get it wrong, and go find their joy.
