Are you looking for something that is a little bit more than special? Perhaps an idea which can't quite be put into words but exists somewhere in your imagination? Or maybe you are still searching for the magic to turn your vision into your perfect day? From alternative wedding dresses to period costumes; for special days or the stage and screen, there are very few challenges which I have not alre

So, after a little website malfunction, I realised that I hadn't posted anything here for nearly a year! For the 1st half of this year I have been working on a Netflix film. Can't say any more about that, sorry. Since then, I've made my first 2025 panto costume. Can't show you the whole thing until publicity photos come out. In the meantime, here's a little sneaky preview. Guesses as to what it is will be gratefully received.

At the time of composing this post (11.58), I can confirm that, for me, Panto has finished! The last stitch was put in just 30 minutes ago, photos have been taken & the costumes are packed ready to be handed over.
To all those working on the shows for the next 6 weeks or so. I wish you all well & may the theatre gods be with you. 💝💖😘
Now, I just have to clean my studio & get it back into some semblance of order for my students on Monday

No Fairys were harmed in the making of Tinkerbell's costume. However, some beads had to be destroyed. 😢

That moment when it's just too much to mark your fabric so you just sew around your pattern pieces.

Bondaweb is a very useful thing but it does create an awful lot of mess!
