25.01.2022 Just finished making this sweet baby change table cover for a dear friend. Easy to take off and wash when needed. I think we need to do a few more K :) I love the colours!

24.01.2022 Had the most productive morning networking my little ass all over town :D Its amazing how the Universe conspires...the moment I was in the sewing shop stocking up on supplies is the moment I overheard the lady behind the counter talking about how she was no longer mending and what on earth was she going to do with all her clients... HELLO & THANKYOU! Out I whip my business cards! Oh Yeah!

23.01.2022 Z I P P E R F I X . . . Broken zippers are not the end of the world! This leather jacket will see many more bike rides with a brand new sturdy YKK zipper pull!

22.01.2022 First fitting of Suzys wedding dress! She loves it! Success! Now to buy all the fabric and find some pretty lace for her strap on her back and to put it all together!

Shes leaving for Phuket on April 5! Wish I could go. What a crazy next few weeks I have on my plate! x

20.01.2022 Setting a PB for myself on the old sewing machine today with heaps of pants to take in and take up, a skirt waist and 3 curtains for Appleseed Lane Boutique for their Grand Opening (its going to be awesome - check them out)! But Im sure Ill be bored by tomorrow! Have you got anything to mend or alter? Give me a call :)

20.01.2022 Christmas parties galore! Instead of buying something new, why not dig through your wardrobe and find something that you havent worn yet because it needed altering or re-styling! Thats where I come in! Ill revamp your dress and make it perfect for your night out and at the fraction of the cost of a whole new dress! Call me on 0413 304 150 - lets get started!

18.01.2022 A few more dresses to hem up for Christmas parties this week for me! A busy time of year for everyone! I will be working up until 23rd December for those of you who still need alterations done and then I will be taking a well deserved break for Christmas :)

17.01.2022 So So Busy!! I think I need another sewing machine and maybe even my Nana!! Man, we would make an awesome sewing duo....she would even make me food all through the day - how great would that be! Back to it though! In the meantime, doing lots of mending for a few ladies that keep coming back <3 love repeat business! <3 and also loads of work for the fabulous tilly & otto - keep posted for her new bucket hats and cute little tops! And also some beautiful girls clothing for Little People Clothing! If you have any mending give me a call :D

16.01.2022 I still find it ironic that I need a pair of scissors to open a packet containing a new pair of scissors! What if this were my first pair of scissors?

15.01.2022 I have been so busy sewing lately that I forget to update you all on my sewing adventures! So I will be posting more often with different types of jobs I do and if my lovely clients allow me, some before and after pictures. Most are camera shy though :) Right now, I have just met Clair along with her mum and sister. I have a bridal dress and three bridesmaids dresses to alter before a beautiful Summer wedding in January! Busy times ahead for Clairand myself!

13.01.2022 Newly designed sleeves on this cute tiffany blue and lace dress last week :) The original cap sleeves were too tight. Needless to say, she loves them now! I cant blame her really, theyre such a cute addition to the dress I think!

11.01.2022 Hand beading all the beads back on a dress after an alteration :) I actually find this therapeutic!

11.01.2022 F U N - F A C T ! I love hand sewing! I actually hand sew all formal pants for a beautiful and invisible finish

10.01.2022 Born in 1880 today, Gideon Sundback, the Swedish-American electrical engineer, invented the zipper. A fastening device that revolutionised the clothing industry. At the time of its invention the zipper wasnt called a zipper and instead referred to as a separable fastener. The word zipper was later made popular by the BF Goodrich Company, that used Sundbacks separable fastener for its products. The zipper regularly finds a place in lists of inventions that shaped the wor...ld. Where would we be without the zipper? Could you imagine a world with zippers? I know I couldnt :) Hope you all had a great day x P.S If you havent already been in Google today check out how Google celebrated the invention of the Zipper and its Inventor!

04.01.2022 One of my most favourite jobs was creating this corset on this beautiful wedding dress to replace a zipper. It completely changed the look of the dress and can also be a gorgeous addition to fix any fitting dilemmas.

04.01.2022 Late night beading with needle and thread... This dress came to me a mess by another seamster! A few weeks later, lots of hours - this dress turned out more beautiful than it started in the... shop *cough! Fixed the zipper, added a panel, loads more beading - Voila! Love making things right :) Enjoy your dress and formal Amber!
