25.01.2022 I have to share the most beautiful lady I had the pleasure to work with. Robyn came to me with a dress that was totally destroyed my another bridal store I won't mention. These are the types of challenges I love. She looks amazing , seethe photos attached to see what we did x

24.01.2022 When the video says it all and the client walks out the door wearing it , this made my day

24.01.2022 Yay I got a mention in Fortemag..... http://fortemag.com.au//looking-for-a-face-mask-heres-six/

24.01.2022 Still enjoying what I do best, and that is duplicating clients wardrobe staples. What do you love that could use a refresh in a new color or fabric? Call me for a quote today

23.01.2022 Simply love the things I have the pleasure to make for Nerida Hansen now at her new store in Torquay. All you sewing extrodinaires must check out her amazing fabric range . https://neridahansen.com.au/

22.01.2022 Due to high demand and shortage of supplies we are still making face masks 100% 2 layers cotton wadding lined washable and reusable adults and kids sizes ... Postage or contactless pick up available For more info or to place an order PM us today. #supportlocal #smallbusiness #masks4all #staysafe These are a great alternative for assisting in reducing hand to face contact. Please read my earlier post about Vietnam and Im sure youll see why I beleive they are important for us all.

21.01.2022 Heres me at home doing what I love. But not the usual bridal and sexy dresses. We had an amazing holiday in Vietnam while this virus just began to ramp up. But what did they do differently to here in Oz? Everyone was wearing masks and we were NOT allowed entry to a store unless we wore one. They also sprayed disinfectant on our hands before we entered the shops. ... Let me share with you current statts Population Vietnam 97.5 million Population Australia 25.5 million Infected in Vietnam 134 cases 0 deaths Infected in Australia 2000 8 deaths Life goes on as normal Atm in Vietnam for most of the population .. Our cases began to multiply since we were all ordered home from O.S No one being tested . No one wore masks on flight (we did) No one temperature checked (as we often were on our tours in Vietnam) . Or upon entry to Vietnamese airport . If you wore a mask it would- *protect you from putting your fingers in mouth or on face *protect your elderly from you *give you a sense of calm Shoot me a txt if you want one Am making them for $15 each Fully machine washable I know Ji and I will be wearing them when we go to the store . This could be a good 6 months plus before its over Stay safe every one

21.01.2022 How do we make a dress thats too tight fit? Add a panel down the sides. I think it looks quite stylish dont you?

20.01.2022 Did you know I can make bench seat cushions too? Love the finished look of this room. Styled by Ali Waight stylist.

19.01.2022 You wouldn't beleive where the inspo came from for this dress. Lincraft fabric draped on a manequin. Lisa loved the dress and her friend said "why don't you ask your dressmaker to make It?" And so she did

18.01.2022 Looking back on a cute little number for Chloes 18th. Chloe sent me inspo pics and we came up with the cutest style . I drafted the pattern to her shape and we came up with the cutest dress. Doesnt she look gorgeous. Let me help you create your dream dress

18.01.2022 Looking forward to when bridal is a "thing" again . Love this classic styling

17.01.2022 Was so honoured to be approached by our amazing frontline staff at Barwon Health oncology unit to make 90 sets of scrubs. The nurses had one request: help us brighten lives of our patients. This is what we produced together. Do you know a special nurse, dr, dentist or vet who you never know what to buy for? How about a set of bespoke scrubs? Nerida Hansen Print & Textiles fabric definately helped cheer them up

16.01.2022 Back home from Vietnam in my happy bubble. Have plenty to do while on our 14 days isolation, Still taking orders. Thanks to my clients for your patience and will still get all your orders completed on time for your events. Times are changing but life goes on

16.01.2022 Babes making my masks look sexy

16.01.2022 Which ones did I make, which is original? Gorgeous vintage gowns. Loving this back story too. 2 besties go shopping at a vintage store and fall in love with a dress. They buy it together and share it.. now its one of their 50th birthdays. So she has requested it copied for a gift...now she has her own Thus is what I love doing , what can I duplicate for You?

16.01.2022 Seams decor has been my thing alot lately. Had a blast making these awesome cushions for Iconiko ...check out their website for funky home decor .

16.01.2022 This dress is perfection...simplistic, timeless, elegant.

15.01.2022 When creating duplicates of ones originals its all in the details or its just not the same

15.01.2022 I absolutely hate waste, which is why I love these upcycled bags I make for House of Sam. Such a great idea when you need a sturdy bag for transporting "stuff". Wether it's a beach bag, groceries or an overnight bag. What a cool idea. Sam also make amazing high quality leather products and custom orders. Keep it local x Be sustainable x Local business x
