A little progress on the new fitting / teaching room...and a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!


Hi Everyone.

Floorboards have appeared in my 'soon-to-be' new fitting room/teaching room! What has this to do with pattern cutting/teaching you may ask...?! The significance of this means that the walls are painted, the floor is next to be painted, and then the gloss can be done, and THEN.......we are nearer completion!

I have 2 new students for one  to one private classes starting in January, so hoping that all this will be done by the time they start! My introductory offer of 5 classes for the price of 6 still holds for NEW students, payable in advance. 


Other news: my pattern cutting teaching is continuing at Ravensbourne, Greenwich after Christmas which is great in terms of the students, environment, colleagues, location etc. I love being back in London, especially now it's winter. Sometimes in the country, although it's beautiful and the air is clean, I feel as if all other human beings are dead!

Bespoke commissions are ongoing too - a wedding dress for July, and a mother of the bride for March, AND....a previous customer was married a couple of weeks ago in the city hall, Florence Italy, in a black wedding dress!!! What a beauty she was too, and what a totally romantic place to be married. (A couple of photos at the end).


  

Sarah and Ben's wedding in Florence, Italy

Just a snap as you can see - note the people in winter jackets and scarves, and Sarah in strapless dress! She was determined, despite suggestions of faux fur/cashmere capelets/wraps....
