Having children and my previous job didn't mix, so I retrained in all things garment related.
Based in the heart of Charnwood, Leicestershire, I have done bespoke dressmaking/ ladies tailoring/ light gents tailoring and alterations part-time for 3 or 4 years. Customers always want embellisment, something to make items special and I can never buy what we want, so I have to make it....and I thought I'd share with you.
It started with machine embroidery then trim and braid (I use a kumihimo braiding stool), fancy patch pockets (the first was an elephant), beads, buttons then beaded buttons, crocheted lace edgings, beaded trim and a daliance with narrow wares weaving using an inkle loom.
I work from home whilst the children are at school and the dog is asleep on the sofa. I'm inspired by the garden, the allotment and anything inbetween, by the geometry, the texture and the colours. I like to push boundaries, glass pebbles with jewel like colour become bejewelled buttons with the help of glass beads in the pattern of poppy seed heads, frayed yarn from fabric braids up to make matching edging in fanciful patterns......And once I've relaxed for a few hours designing, creating, making; the kids come home and all hell breaks loose!
