It's nearly holiday time

Yesssss. Three weeks of blissful holidays start at the end of the week.
It will be great to relax and reflect on this very busy term at UCOL.
Lots has been achieved as I found out during this week of handins.
To end the term on an exciting note, our class is about to take part in a fashion photo shoot workshop. I am sure the new skills will come in very handy in the future.
Take care everyone.

Weekend fabric fun

The weekend is off to a great start.
Having watched soccer I headed into town to a fabric sale... and... well.... there goes the budget again!!!
I feel a wee sewing bee coming up in the holidays. Until then it will be head down and finish all the assignments that are due in next week.
Oh well, at least I have fabric to purr over while I'm looking for design inspiration.
Happy weekend everyone.

Red Hot Off The Ironing Press

This red hot number is great to brighten up winter.

Created in 100% dupion silk.

The coctail dress has a high V neckline, flattering darting, knee length and centre back vent.

Inspiration came from Asia with the dramatic red colour, fabric choice, neckline and simple lines of the garment.

This is part of my Style Pasifika Competition work and there is a cape coming up to complete the look...Watch this space, and hopefully see it on the Style Pasifika Fashion Awards stage this coming September.

Warming up winter. Red wool jacket

Architecture was the inspiration for this jacket.
Ancient Italian buildings and the Sydney Opera House were transformed into collar and belt details.
Made in 100% wool and fully lined, this red number will be an asset in the wardrobe.
