My Sewing History

I was drawn into fashion at an early age.  When I started working I found it more gratifying to make Vogue clothes than to buy them retail. This allowed my creative juices to flow experimenting with colours, patterns & textiles.  Making my own clothes styled by some of the best designers in the world allowed me the freedom to make clothes that not only fitted me but also looked great.

I have been creating "new wardrobes" since my early 20's.  One such early collection happened to turn the head of the man I was to marry.  That was unexpected and has been a good decision for nearly 30 years and two all grown up children. 

After many years of learning, through trial & error, I found I needed the help of experts to help solve some of my fashion questions.  So I took up formal studies at the Melbourne College of Textiles & Fashion Design in 1984. I found that being under the guidance and watchful eye of experts very fulfilling & rewarding. This opened my eyes to a more structured approach of finding fashion.  I could now continue my adventure in fashion design with new eyes & a sense of what works and what doesn't.

So for nearly three decades I have continued to find fulfillment in helping people find outfits for special events, wardrobe makeovers, creating & making stylish clothes for myself & family.
