Vintage inspired snoods, handknits and homewares

My name is Tanis, I live down at the bottom edge of Hampshire with my partner and my adorable (though quite nervous) cat.

I have been interested in textiles all my life, I used to make clothes for my dolls as a small child and went to fashion college after school before working as an apprentice tailor in Savile Row. From there I worked for Dame Zandra Rhodes hand beading her beautiful dresses before going to to work as a freelance hand sewer for several London fashion houses.

Fast forward a few years and I now work from home down here in Hampshire making all sorts of vintage-inspired things. I love the glamour of classic Hollywood - my inspirations are the actors Kim Novak, Gene Tierney and Doris Day. I also love reproducing vintage knitwear, though the patterns can be a challenge to the modern knitter!
