Couldn't resist this silver grey velvet with white embroidery on....that'd make a fab evening type coat me thinks... (even though I don't go out in the evenings!)

Not October quite yet but so many ads out there for Christmas parties and balls. If you've nearly got the right dress but it's too long or needs a nip and a tuck, I've got the Needle Knowhow to sort it for you, get in touch.

A really nice Edwardian style blouse in cotton and lace, a commission for a WW1 reenactor, pleased with how this turned out.

It's been a busy summer, lots of alterations ,mostly shortening things, are we getting shorter or are clothes designed and made for above average height nowadays!
Also am still mega busy making historical costumes for reenactors.

Here if you need help, alterations, advice, sewing help etc.

The pic is of a made to measure 14th Century ladies Cotehardie in 100% linen, just off to its new owner.

Obviously I sew for a living and use this page to let local folk know I offer a service. But a lot of people have a little needle knowhow and might be stuck on a project. Sewing Bee has just started which can inspire some to dust off their machines. If you're stuck and have a question, a 'how do I..', post it here, I'll see if I can help

Last night a very proud mum sent over some photos of her daughter going to her Prom in a dress that Id altered for her. Stunning. If youre daughters prom is tonight I hope they all have a fab time, and if Ive had a hand in making their dress perfect Id love to see some photos please, good luck everyone and have a fab evening.

Just to say in light of this heat, all fittings this week have now been re arranged for next week....my workroom is just too hot. If youve arranged to collect a finished garment thats still ok. Keep cool everyone! 🥵
