Adapting a commercial pattern to recreate the dress on the right. Making a toille to check the pieces fit - coming together nicely, I think 😊

Just three of the several custom-made cushion/bolster covers made for a client from her Mum's scarves as keep sakes 💖

Taking time off over Christmas and the New Year: Wednesday 20th December - Wednesday 3rd January 2018. Can I take this opportunity to say a huge thank to all my clients that have kept me busy over the past year. I'm so grateful to all you all for supporting my business ❤ I wish you all a joyous Christmas and a wonderful New Year! 😘

The Christmas Rush is in full swing! I'm fully booked from now until the new year, but still taking bookings for Jan 2018.

August is shaping up to be another busy month 😊👚👕👖👔👗 (not helped by the fact that I'll be taking a couple of weeks off) so I'll not be booking any more work in until September. #busytime #summerrush

Busy, busy, busy!

Just a quick post to let you know that I'm fully booked up until the end of June! If you need alterations for after that time and haven't already booked a consultation (or requested an estimate), I urge you to get in touch soon, as the current waiting time is 4-5 weeks.

I had my last fitting appointment this morning before taking my Christmas break. I'll be back at work on 2nd January, but already have work booked in for the whole of that month. If next year is anything like this one has been, I'll get booked up very quickly, so please allow at least 4 weeks notice for anything you may need doing, especially prom dresses, holy communion gowns, bridesmaids and wedding gowns. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all my clients for your commissions over the last year - it has been a pleasure and a privilege to work with you all and may I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year! See you in 2017! 🎅🎄🎁

Christmas is coming......

🎄⛄🎁 Christmas is fast approaching and I'm fully booked from now until the New Year (as I'm going to be taking some well-earned time off to celebrate my Half Century and the Festive Season). 👖👕👗 It's been an incredible year in which I've been kept extremely busy and I'm so grateful to all my clients for their continuing custom. 📅📒📆 If the last year is anything to go by, the New Year will be very busy, so if anyone needs any work done, please allow AT LEAST 4 WEEKS NOTICE. My diary is already filling up for January, so contact me soon to get booked in.
