Kim works for the sustainability team at the Council. She wanted me to make her a striking stage outfit. We decided on a blue-purple colour palette. I think I got a little carried away with the beading. Hours and days later I stopped. She was very pleased with the outcome and had great comments from the crowd. Yay!
I like guys and girls in suits. But sometimes they can be a little formal and plain.
I experimented with adding a some lines by stitching on the jacket and trousers. I also changed all the buttons to match the thread colour. Here is the outcome.
If you are bored of your old suit and would like to give it a second life, specify your desired colours and style and we will do the rest.
What to do with plain jacket lacking character? Embellish them of course!
The floral print fabric on these jackets were cut out from old curtains. I then used the zigzag setting on the machine to do as satin stitch around the motif. Simple but effective!
The Dolly Dress was created from the same pattern I used for these dresses.
But with this one I choose more luxurious fabrics. I salvaged lots of off-cuts and end of roll fabric from a Brighton based dress maker and used silks and satins to create this piece.
Gorgeous Yasemin modelling again.
So many different style tops can be made with a simple t-shirt. Here is open ties back one that I made in the summer. Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to take any step by step photo instructions, but hopefully it will still make sense.
Modelled by the beautiful Yasemin.
