21.01.2022 Breathing new life into an old coat. Changing the lining from brown to red really transforms the whole look and feel of it!

18.01.2022 A few months ago gorgeous Megan came to me with a dream - to wear her grandmother's and mother's wedding dress, but made into something entirely new. I immediately jumped at the chance of a challenge. Along the way there were self-doubts, but I soldiered on, and last week Megan's dream came true. After designing, I first had to disassemble and clean her 63 year-old dress. Many hours of careful unpicking (lots of lace!), 8 hours of soaking, and some nerves later, I had some b...eautiful pieces of antique silk to work with. First draft was made of plain poplin, as I couldn't afford to waste any fabric! After that it came together fairly quickly, until it was time to hand-stitching all the lace onto the bodice and train. The end result has some age spots, some wrinkles that just wouldn't budge despite lots of pressing and steaming, some stubborn stains, but mostly it has lots of love, history, family tradition and pride. What a beautiful homage to Megan's mother and grandmother! Of course the beloved fur-children were included in the big day, complete with their matching silk bowties Such an honour to have been part of this journey. Thank you Megan

15.01.2022 Please forgive my two posts in one day, just couldn't wait to share the smile on my girl's face

12.01.2022 It's been a busy few months for your friendly neighbourhood dressmaker! I intend to make time for sharing some of my latest work with you all soon. In the meantime, it's nice to be appreciated Thank you for my flowers and chocolates Tash & Adele, I hope your deb is fabulous

11.01.2022 I'm on holidays, so of course it's time for some sewing! On the menu, a few easy summer dresses for my girls. I'm mostly excited to try out my new set of presser feet, a Christmas gift from my 18 year-old (who also sews - she understands what a lady needs!! ) I hope you're all relaxing and enjoying the calm after the storm. In case anyone is still feeling confused, today is Saturday

10.01.2022 You can't get more matching than wearing a piece of mum's dress!

10.01.2022 Wishing you all peaceful, joyful, wonderful Christmas Wishing you all peaceful, joyful, wonderful Christmas

10.01.2022 What's a not-very-girly girl to do when it's deb time? Why, wear pants of course! Free-spirited Freja decided to do things her way, and didn't I have fun making this jumpsuit for her!?

08.01.2022 A Christmas bomb has gone off in my sewing room!!! Have you started Christmas crafts? I'd love to see some of your ideas and creations! (not necessarily made of fabric )

06.01.2022 A big THANK YOU to my awesome Warragul ladies, how dull would my Tuesday mornings be without our sewing adventures!? These girls have all three come so far with their sewing skills - from not knowing which way to face the sewing machine (for some of them at least ), to now making clothes for themselves and their whole family, costumes for everyone at the office, bags, stuffed toys etc... Do you wish you could finally make use of that sewing machine that's been sitting in your shed for years? Gather up a couple of friends or more, and I'll come to you to help get you started. Get in touch!

05.01.2022 Happy New Year! May you make many mistakes 2019
