Hi Everyone,
It's a bit odd nowadays - there are so many ways to connect with people, that it's hard to know which is the most important. I think I do most things - facebook (both personal and a page for the business), official Atelier website, twitter, blogs for my classes and the wedding dress business Atelier, plus other promo work, such as newspaper/magazine articles, flyers, business cards etc., etc....PLUS the best one - word of mouth. This last takes a little time to spread, especially when it's for a business or service which isn't needed all the time by everybody, but it is ultimately the most reliable.
Sooooooo.....tell your friends!!!The Atelier website can be found at www.bobbiesroom.co.uk and the Atelier facebook page is here.
I have neglected the blogs a bit recently, as the Facebook side of things is so easy to do, but I realised, or should I say, forgot that not everyone uses facebook. So have decided to keep up better with the blogs! Let me know what you think about blogs - do you read them/find them interesting /useful?
I am currently in the local glossy monthly magazine, Four Shires, with a full page article and photos. Only thing is, this article is a year old, as it didn't go in this time last year, as it was planned to, for what reason I don't know! So some of the information is out of date, and I am no longer collaborating with another designer, and the vintage / recycled / personal meaning side of my design work is called Atelier Redolent, not as named in the article. Still, you can see all my latest stuff on the website (link above). Please have a look if you have a moment - it's available in newsagents in Oxfordshire/Warwickshire/Northamptonshire/Gloucestershire/Buckinghamshire
But here we speak specifically about pattern cutting and sewing techniques, although since changing my website host, the Atelier wedding dress blog can't be accessed by anyone but me! Currently working on resolving that, but until I do, I will use this blog for both strands of Atelier. Hopefully you will find it all interesting though....
My one to one class students have increased noticeably in the last month or so, which is great, and my students are so committed and enthusiastic, it's quite touching.
Stop press - very pleased to announce that my Atelier wedding dress blog has just been rescued from the nether regions of the interweb, and is now available for everyone to see again! It's here:
bobbie-atelier.blogspot.com
So, this is just to let you know that I will be more blog active now everything's up and running, but please have a look at the facebook page (link above), if you are a facebooker.
Speak soon,
Bobbie

Gloomy February? Not at all.....
February NEWSBLOG
Hello Atelier Class students!
This is a new thing I am starting up - an online newsletter, to let you know that the grey February gloom doesn't necessarily mean that things are gloomy!
In fact, I have a little present for new students in the shape of 2 free hour long classes.
Most people find that a two hour class is a good length of time, but you are welcome to come for hour long classes - whatever suits your schedule and budget.
So, for this 'one time' offer, if you pay in advance for 5 two hour lessons, (10 hours), you can have an extra lesson (2 hours) free, if you make an advance booking. This works out at £150 for the 6 two hour classes, instead of £180.
Of course, the 'pay as you come' classes are exactly the same as before, £15 per hour, £30 for a two hour class, with pattern paper, basic sewing threads and tea and coffee inclusive.
In case you have a friend or relation who may be interested, this is just to remind them that all you need at first are: fabric scissors, dressmaking pins and an unpicker. Ask them to ring or email me (go to the contact page) for more information.
And one last thing on that front - don't forget that I welcome students of all kinds, old, young, very experienced or total beginners - everyone has a different way of working and learning, and I love to discover the best way for each individual. Please see the home page of my Atelier website for a bit of my personal and work history.
So, as a bit of a shortcut to latest developments for me, please see my blog on the Atelier wedding dress website: http://atelier.blog.bobbiesroom.co.uk and why not join me on Facebook (if you do that sort of thing?!) I put regular info and posts up there connected to fashion, art and music.
Lastly, please don't forget to check out our (myself and collaborator Rachel David's) ecoEureko website for bespoke wedding and event dresses, (designed and made from at least 50% recycled fabric with new fabrics), which is still under construction, but quite viewable unless I'm working on it, in which case, try a little later.
Please be a follower of this blog, (if you have any of the accounts that let you do that), by clicking on the link at the top right of the page, and please add a comment at the end of this blog, if you have a little time to spare.
