25.01.2022 Dressmaking and sewing are the perfect complement to flower gardens and homes with vases spilling with generous blooms. If I am tidying up or cleaning, I first pick a basketful of roses, peonies, anything in season. It gives me enough incentive to finish more mundane tasks. Look out for our homemaking workshop days that we not only teach basics of sewing but also growing, gathering and arranging flowers, easy vegetable growing making stocks and bread....making a house a home. Perfect for a pre wedding party or gift.

24.01.2022 Safari skirt made in studens holiday class

24.01.2022 Waistcoats and jodhpurs have been sewn in preparation for autumn activities. Vests are so versatile and really achieve a country weekend look.

23.01.2022 Crocheted clutch from Elizabeths Intermediate crochet class. Tailored high waisted pants adapting Vogue pattern and using upholstery fabric made in Half Made Never Finished

22.01.2022 Firewood stacked, chimneys cleaned and pleasures of farm produce. Clotted cream and egg sponge with home made jam. A treat...of course the roses complement any afternoon tea spread.

21.01.2022 Huge reductions in vintage fabrics linens, cottons, wool, rayon all in good lengths. around $5 a metre

21.01.2022 This is an easy Butterick vintage pattern made up in silk taffeta...slight modification so you dont get the blouse effect in skirt. Come to Half-Made-Never-Finished to make one.

20.01.2022 This is a lined sleeveless coat from a Vogue pattern. These are called pinafores or jumpers (English). Great as so versatile winter or summer.

20.01.2022 Easter included several trips to the Easter Show to see the outstanding livestock, crafts, riders ..and who doesnt love a woodchop and rodeo and of course the Grand Parade? All this country deserves a country shirt so I made a pattern from the 1970s that I must have made at least 20 times.

19.01.2022 We have two spaces available in our Overlocking intro class tomprrow 16th due to cancellation...9-12. $95. 10 percent off ...$85. Includes all fabric and you make pyjama pants. This shirt was made on over locker...halved sewing time.

18.01.2022 Saturday morning special for 21st Jan 9-12. Introduction to Sewing class 3 hours $70.00. Bring nothing but enthusiasm. We have had a few cancellations so have reduced the cost...a great reason for you to grab the opportunity. Also making great farm accessories. Sock savers are an essential item on the farm in summer. Quick and easy to make.

18.01.2022 Seamstress Duster: Trying to design a duster coat to wear in the workroom so threads and fluff dont get over your clothes and tape measure sits well under a collar. Also big pockets and big cuffs to put pins if in a hurry. This is our first attempt..the pockets need total redesign and total redefining of all aspects. Duster coats were once found in all trades; traditionally worn to keep dust off horsemen but then taken up by chaffeurs, bootmakers and yes even seamstresses!

17.01.2022 We have great facilities in our new workroom; the giant ironing board is brilliant at any stage of clothes construction.

17.01.2022 Palazzo pants; ever heard of them? They are from the 60s, think large brimmed, floppy hats and platforms. They are probably a reincarnation of the beach pyjamas from the 20s. Anyway we had a go at drafting a pattern and voila...it took all of 30 minutes to run them up. They feel fantastic so we will work on some more patterns.

15.01.2022 Tailored shorts with pockets and upturned cuffs made by Roma in our school students class.

15.01.2022 SALE 60s classic patterns $4 and $5

14.01.2022 It is often simple pattern , great fabric that becomes a fave in the wardrobe. Be game if not enough fabric. Lots of fabric saving tricks like pops of bias tape hem.

13.01.2022 This months we are concentrating on shirts. This 1460 vintage Simplicity pattern pattern is quick and effective

13.01.2022 The Sewing Emporium is now opening at Forty Bends Farm!

12.01.2022 Knickers made in our Your Secrets Out Victoria

12.01.2022 "I want women to burst through the glass ceiling, but I also want them to burst into the haberdashery" -- John-Paul Flintoff (English journalist, writer and broadcaster)

10.01.2022 Marilyn and Audrey loved it, Princess Diana had hers in pearls. THE BALERO sewing workshop for students 9 years up next week starting 23rd

10.01.2022 Vintage fabric, vintage frock pattern, Simplicity 9618. Such jolly colours.

09.01.2022 This coat was made from a recycled wool blanket that I dyed red. Using the overlocker on flatlock and with some good pattern creativity, this coat was made in 4 hours. It was a finalist in the Australian Wool Fashion Awards in July.

08.01.2022 This business needs a new owner as I have to return to the farm. If you are any of the following: Designer Fashion teacher... Seamstress or tailor Group of crafty friends Family with a sewing background Creative, enthusiastic person with technical ability Someone with a passion for keeping Summer Hill diverse, creative and colourful THIS MAY BE THE RIGHT BUSINESS FOR YOU! Why? I am only selling the basic stockfurniture etc is all negotiable Living above the shop is a great

08.01.2022 Classes and workshops back after the Christmas break. New small classes are starting so opportunity for new sewers to join beginners groups and advanced sewers to start a group or join an experienced group. In the workshop on the farm we have been sewing frocks; crisp poplin, retro fabric and design as well as classic shirtmakers.

08.01.2022 A wonderful ball at Lithgows historic Union Theatre. The Quota Ladies pull on a supper table that was a treat and could have been similar to ball suppers 50 or 100 years ago.It was a good occasion to road test Burda pattern . The pattern came together quickly...like all Burda patterns, fabulous cut but beware, few directions!

07.01.2022 I always suggest trying a new pattern with similar fabric eg cotton woven, but using old sheets, calico or reject. This was Christmas pudding calico...wish I had used a nice linen as it is a great, unusual pattern.

06.01.2022 Safari skirt style

05.01.2022 Is there a Tenor Horn player out there going to Ironfest at Lithgow on Saturday? Lithgow Brass Band needs you.

05.01.2022 overlocking workshop

03.01.2022 While into leisure wear /sleepwear, where have all the nightgowns gone? They served both men and women for centuries but now Peter Alexander has convinced all that pyjamas are de rigeur. To counter that claim here is a wonderfully comfortable, classic nightgown, run up from a Butterick pattern.

02.01.2022 This fellow was produced by a Saturday afternoon knitter

01.01.2022 Dressmaking classes starting again this week. Tuesday morning and Thursday evening. For enquires call Sarah 63523577.
