Off the Walls Millinery Course

Last week I took a Millinery (Hat) Making Course with Off the Wall in Stratford. I loved every minute of it and wanted to share with you a bit of my experience. The hands on instruction and the amazing new sewing techniques I learned, along with finishing a beautiful hat, I am now able to offer fascinators and hats to my brides and other clients.

Take a look and see what other awesome courses Off the Wall offers!

Dress Making Report: The Maid of Honour dress and matching Tie

This is the Maid of Honour dress and matching tie that I made recently for a client. I was so delighted to make this dress, the colour is amazing and it fit her figure perfectly. The tie was my very first attempt at making one, but it also worked out very well.

Dress Making Report: The Prom Dress

I recently made a prom dress for a delightful young girl. It was an absolute joy for me to create this dress from scratch for her. I had never done any draping before, but I did it and it turned out beautifully.

My own projects: A Skirt

This is a skirt I made for a wedding I will be attending next weekend. I love how easy the pattern for this dress, it was only two pieces! Floral and flowing perfect for a summer wedding.


Dress Making Report: The Baptism Dress


Here is the process of making the Baptism dress mostly from scratch. I had to make sleeves and enlarge certain parts of the pattern. I also hand beaded along the lace and made a headband to add a little something extra. Please enjoy and stay tuned for pictures from a photo shoot.
