LOVELY SEWING

NOW SOME IMAGES OF THINGS I HAVE MADE IN THE SEWING ROOM. THIS IS A DRESS I HAD TO ALTER FOR COUPLE OF GIRLS AS BRIDESMAIDS.

  THIS ONE BELOW IS THE BEGINNING OF PATRICIAS WEDDING DRESS.   IT HELPS TO TAKE A PHOTO AND LOOK AT IT TO GET AN IDEA OF THE DRAPE WORKING

OOPS SOME FAIRY TOAD STOOLS SNUCK IN

   AND THE BACK VIEW OF PATRICIAS DRESS.

SOME CUSHIONS FOR AMY'S HOUSE TO MATCH HER BLACK AND GREY LOOSE COUCH COVERS

I COULD HAVE MADE A LOT !

  THESE ARE SOME HAND EMBROIDERED TURKISH CUSHIONS FROM A BED-SPREAD I WAS GIVEN. THEY WERE VERY POPULAR AND I HAVE SOLD THEM ALL. JUST WITH PEOPLE WALKING PAST AND THE CUSHIONS CATCHING THEIR EYE. OH IF ONLY WE COULD FIND MORE OF THAT ELUSIVE FABRIC THAT IS POPULAR AND YOU CANT FIND MORE

  AND A PIECE OF GREEK HAND WOVEN WOOL. FROM THE LOVELY GWEN

THIS IS THE NEXT BRIDESMAID DRESSES THAT I MADE FOR FOUR GIRLS . ALL THE SAME STYLE , JUST SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT BODY SHAPES.

  AND THIS IS CHRISTINA . THE GIRL WITH THE AFRICAN FABRIC . SHE ASKED US TO MAKE HER A WEDDING DRESS FROM AN EMBROIDERED TABLECLOTH. EVEN THOUGH SHE HAD NO FUTURE HUSBAND YET.

     AND ZARA WHO WAS A MANAGER IN THE MONTSALVAT RESTAURANT.  AMY MADE HER AN AMAZING DRESS WITH A LOWER LAYER OF LOTS OF FABRIC THAT HAD HISTORY FOR HER .INCLUDING SCHOOL DRESS FABRIC, JAPANESE SILK A PIECE OF CREAM SILK WITH PEARLS SEWN ON AND OTHER PIECES OF PRECIOUS FABRIC.

    THIS WAS A DRESS FOR MARDI .I MADE TWO FOR HER WHEN SHE WENT TO BALI WITH THE GIRLS

   THESE TWO PAINTINGS ARE BY DAVID MOORE. A PAINTER AT MONTSALVAT, WHO IS OBSESSED WITH AMY'S WHITE TUTU.  HE MANAGES TO SELL THE PAINTINGS FOR ABOUT FIVE OR SIX THOUSAND.WE KEEP WAITING FOR A GIFT IN THE SHAPE OF A PAINTING FOR THE USE OF THE DRESS.....Hmmmmmmmmm
