About Me

I have been sewing since primary school, making soft toys, dolls clothes and then clothes for myself from the 70's onwards. I started making costumes around 1980 for local Dancing Schools, progressing from simple animal costumes and dresses onto the complicated ones that I make today. Many of the costumes that I have made in recent years have won competitions for best costume. Quite a few of the numbers I have costumed keep on winning at Festivals and are used over and over again, being passed down over the years, as they are made to last. A lot of thought and effort goes into the creation of each costume, as each one is specially made for the dancer.
