Sewing and Design Studio: Simplicity 2638
http://sewinganddesignstudio.blogspot.com/2011/12/simplicity-2638.html
Tuesday, December 27, 2011. Take a pattern with a silhouette that works for you, make it up in a divine fabric, tweak the pattern to make the most of that fabric, and you have a gorgeous dress for the festive season. The bodice fabric was found at 'The Fabric Store' in Surry Hills and is a Lisa Ho silk chiffon. Sue snapped up the end of the roll as soon as she saw it. Lovely fabrics like this never last long there and sell out almost as soon as they arrive. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The 'Sewing...

Sewing and Design Studio: Young Talent
http://sewinganddesignstudio.blogspot.com/2011/12/young-talent.html
Saturday, December 3, 2011. One of the best things about teaching people to sew is that I get the opportunity to meet some wonderful and very talented people. Tess, who came to the studio a few months ago for tuition, is one of these special people and she is as hard working, as she is talented. Tess contacted me as she wanted a few private lessons to assist her with the pattern drafting and construction of a garment to enter in the 'Casual Wear' catergory of the 'Apex Australian Teenage Fashion Awards'.

Thursday, December 29, 2011. Is a good description for this beautiful beaded corset, made by Jess. For her HSC, Textile and Design Major Work this year. Jess, during her final year of school has spent many, many hours working to create this lovely bodice and skirt, not an easy task in such a demanding year. Thousands of hand sewn beads, amount to thousands and thousands of tiny hand stitches. The bra cups are covered in sequins and at the centre of each sequin, a seed bead has been stitched.

Sewing and Design Studio: January 2012
http://sewinganddesignstudio.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 29, 2012. Katie Perry, a Dress, and Caitie's Major Work. I would have to say that I am always amazed, at the talent and dedication of the high school girls that sew with me at the studio. This is Caitie, who has been sewing with the studio for a few years and last year she was busy working on her Textiles and Design Major Work for the 2011 HSC. Pale pink sequins covered the gown and were stitched on, one by one. Layers and layers of colourful organza. Satin stitched stars and sequins.

Saturday, October 29, 2011. Don't you just love Xmas sewing? Well, Xmas sewing started this week in the studio and is now in full swing. We still may have a few months to go before we are right into Ho! But if we don't get cracking those gifts and clothes we want for the festive season just won't be ready. I made this lovely bag in fabric that I bought from Calico and Ivy. I love the large floral fabric as it looks very 'Mad Men' and I have lined it with a spot. Sunday, October 23, 2011. We then move ont...

Friday, February 15, 2013. After a very long blogging break. Here is a little update on what's been happening in the studio.

Then there is this gorgeous nude silk chiffon and lurex number. Fabric from The Fabric Store, Surrey Hills. Pattern is Butterick 5211 and a seperate slip was made to accomodate the sheer ...This ...
