  1. Courses

    Posted on

    In an attempt to increase my repetoire of skills I'm attending a couple of courses over the coming months - tambour beading and crochet. I can't wait to have a go at beading some mesh to incorporate into my panels. Here's a piccy of me having a look at bead placement on that centre front panel;

  2. Oxford Conference of Corsetry 2015

    Posted on

    The bank holiday weekend was spent in Oxford attending the world's only conference of corsety. It has come to feature as a must-attend event in my calendar and is responsible for my transition from 'dabbler' to corset maker selling one-off corsets to clients and a range of patterns in my etsy shop. I've made a lot of new friends through attending the conference, increased my expertise in the art, and had a lot of fun along the way. It's brilliant to be able to talk corsets with a load of like-minded enthusiasts. Roll on OCOC16!

    Here's me with Gingerface model getting her ready for our shoot - the half hour slot we get on the Sunday with a professional photographer;
