One very happy chappy in his new shirt ♥️ #newshirt #handmade #customdesign #plaidshirt

A fun Saturday afternoon project from the weekend - a men's shirt made in the softest slinkiest viscose (slightly nightmarish to pattern match the plaid, but more nightmarish not to!) I don't generally make men's shirts as there are so many fantastic shirt designs already out there, but this was a surprise for someone special, made by copying his old favourite shirt which was so full of holes there wasn't much shirt left! #oldfavourite #shirt #mensshirt #plaidshirt #handmade #replica #viscose #summershirt #surprise

This was the last pre-Art Deco Festival sewing I did and there's nothing like finishing a commission four hours before the ball to keep you focussed! I was thrilled with how well it moved on the dancefloor and am so thankful for having such trusting and delightful clients! #lastminute #lastminutedress #finishedproject #sewingcommission #handmade #1920sdress #lacedress #commission #madetomeasure

I had so much fun last night at the @hi.de.ho.swing Swinging Sixties Social! Even the hall was era appropriate and we decorated the tables with marshmallows on sticks and fruit punch and pineapples (the dog ended up eating the pineapple whole, but that's another story!)🍍✨ #swingingsixties #swingdancing #swingesocialdance #napierdance #lindyhop #charleston #sixtiesparty #paisley

My first try of sixties hair and makeup and I am totally converted! Love the beehive and crazy earrings and big eyes and soft pink lips! I've got to admit though - the falsies didn't last a night of dancing - ladies what's the trick to making big lashes stay glued on? #1960s #sixtieshair #beehivehair #falseeyelashes #sixtiesfashion #twiggy #danceparty #sixties

Another completed project made entirely from items in my stash, this last minute deco garment was made from a pattern I took off Nick's favourite vintage waistcoat. Taking patterns from favourite items is really rewarding - it can save a vintage garment from being worn to death, or mean that you can have a favourite style in every colour, or a vintage style that's machine washable! It's also a chance to recreate it with a bit more room or more length! I always learn something from the skills of the original dressmaker too, there are so many ways to sew a pocket! Have you got anything you'd love replicated? #waistcoat #tailoiring #patterning #patterncutting #dressmaking #copying #recreating #artdecofashion

I just love sewing a pattern matched pocket! Here's a close up of the waistcoat I finished just in time for winter deco, you might recognise the fabric? There were large enough offcuts left over from Luna's greyhound coat for matchy man and hound outfits! Unfortunately Luna hates photos, so prepare for cute pictures of one very sad hound and her matchy man 💕 #matchies #pocket #pocketsquare #patternmatching #houndstooth #greyhoundfashion #greysaspets #tailoiring

The winning couple of the winter deco fashion flaunt; she wears a custom Tammy Twinkletoes dress 💕 I just love how well colour coordinated they are 😍 #fashionflaunt #fashioncompetition #bestdressed #bestdressedcouple #napierartdeco #winterfashion #napierwinterdeco

I'm nearly recovered from Napier's winter deco festival and just love seeing the photos start to pop up! Here's a really fabulous shot by @georgejosephotography taken at the Mandela Day dance class we taught during the festival (seriously it was all on this weekend!) Reposted from @hi.de.ho.swing (@get_regrann) - We hope you all enjoyed the Napier Winter Deco festival (we sure did!) In a weekend packed with fun and dancing the Dazzle Ball was the stand out event thanks to @welcometothemetropolitanclub and @art_deco_napier for a fantastic party, we were thrilled to be part of it! 🎉🍾 #winterdeco #napierwinterdeco #artdeco #mandeladay #tasterclass #danceclass #vintagedance #vintagecouple - #regrann

I rather enjoyed being the paparazzi at the #winterdeco fashion flaunt! Especially as @bellbirdcottagebandb took out the top prize in a custom dress by me! (Cheesy winning photos coming soon 😍) #fashionflaunt #paparazzi #winteroutfit #napierartdeco #commission #handmade
