Its times like these where a rethink about goals and perspective is needed.

After a fair amount of time deliberating and seeking advice, I have decided to gift the readymade baby and pregnancy products aspect of the business to Fantail's Nest NZ and so it can carry them on and elevate the products so they will be to a standard i'm really happy with.

if you havent followed that page yet, i suggest you do! (its still me 🥰😆)

this page is now going to be managed by Anne Marie Reid and she will be taking over the dressmaking and alterations side of the business so i can focus on one business at a time x

We'll still be here, just in a different way 🥰

for my current clients, you have been nothing short of amazing and my appreciation for your support is huge x

please show mum the same love and support (shes got YEARS of experience on me)

pic for a hurrah, thats one of my designs being trotted out for dads work do x

Meet Georgia... The Linen dress of your dreams! Named after my chosen sister/Best friend who is the most gentle natured, kind and truly beautiful person from the inside out, and she often dyes her hair vibrant colours, so only vibrant colours will be available to choose from ❤️

This is my own pattern and i love it soooo much!!

She has elasticated sleeves and shoulders to make this garment flexible in sizing from 10 to 18/20

It's designed to be oversized, loose fitting but can be cinched with the belt, so pretty size generous, and ideal for maternity wear and beyond!

of course i can alter to fit (and add pockets) thats the beauty of being a dressmaker.

cotton versions are $150
Linen Versions are $200

as you know, I name my clothing after special people.

Ive named it the "Lesley Coat", after a very stylish and inspiring lady in my networking group - Raspberry Beret. Her style coaching is second to none ❤️

its not every day I get the chance to do some sewing for a Young Enterprise Scheme!

If you are heading to the Farmers Market this weekend go and support these young entrepreneurs with their cool product.

these dog beds are made from 100% repurposed materials, mostly using wool and better yet, the filling is made from wool and fadges from a gisborne sheep and beef farm.

its reducing landfill, using precious wool from our farmers and supporting the planet! go team!

if youre needing sewing jobs on this scale to be done, i can contract sew 🥰
