Residential course

Straight after my degree I attended a residential course specialising in tailoring. The main focus was to make and alter patterns to a classmate’s exact measurements and requirements.

My first ‘customer’ was for a lovely sweet woman who wanted me to make her wedding outfit.

I was so proud that she had chosen and entrusted me to make her clothes for such a special occasion. She chose a beautiful water green satin with little flower print from which I made a corset and matching skirt. She was really happy.

The second outfit I made was for a very chic young Parisian lady. The design was a classy vintage inspired dress from the 60’s in crepe fabric with a black and white collar, cuffs and buttons. She looked stunning.

Fancy Commission

Evening all,

Liesa commissioned a makeup bag and chose her own fabrics and trims from a local shop in Brighton,

Here is the result and she was absolutely over the moon judging by the massive grin on her face!

I leave you to enjoy the pictures,

My local charity Raystede

Recently, we visited our local animal rescue centre Raystede to drop off bags of goodies for them to sell.

Raystede helps dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, horses, donkeys and all types of birds from exotic parrots to mallard ducks. It is very popular with families and they always organise events.

It’s a lovely place in the country, where you can wander around and feed the ducks, geese and swans and other birds around the large ponds.

The dogs’ pens are very roomy where they can run at their hearts’ contents.

The cafe is also very popular and always busy (very tasty cakes).

Please support your local charity organisations; some people and animals are not so lucky and need your support and donations especially in winter. Thank you.
