About Me

My photo
My love affair with fabrics and fashion started during childhood, I was encouraged by a clever mum who was always on her machine experimenting. Designing and the creative process keeps me just about sane. At the moment jewellery is my passion as; after all it is the little things in life that are truly precious. For me it its the process of making - working 30 hours a week doesn't leave much time to indulge this hobby. In the past I tended to give a lot of it away or remake once I have achieved the photo I want to make into another item. I'm now starting to sell though which is great, would be lovely to do this full time though. I am currently uploading vintage items I no longer have use for so please feel free to check out my little etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/HollyDaise

Sewing Circle - Lesson Three/Four

Seems a lifetime ago that I completed my City and Guilds Tailoring, B-TEC Womens Outerwear, Silver Jewellery City and Guilds and Fashion Design Degree not to mention the PTTLLS Teaching Qualification - at last - something I can apply it all too!

My star pupil in lesson three produced the following Jewellery Pouch which taught her some transferable techniques such as sewing curves, quilting, attaching bias binding and covering buttons.  She did marvellously as you can see from the results.

LESSON THREE/FOUR - JEWELLERY POUCH.  LOVELY BUTTON EMBELLISHMENT!

Check out the perfect quilting!

Splendid job with the bias binding!
