Fashion Camp 2017 and the return of Hanky Hems


I'm thinking of running Fashion Camp again this summer:
Any ages from 10 upwards - including adults this year! The weeklong course (9-5 each day) will be $550 per person which includes every fabric, notions, etc. You will make a new wardrobe and have the skills to make clothing and accessories for the rest of your life. Email me on: louise.hudson2011@gmail.com.
Not sure of dates yet but either July 17-21 or Aug 7-11 - only 6 students per course, so make sure to register soon. You will need to make a down payment of $300 and the remainder would be due the week before camp starts.




Big trend for the summer is handkerchief hems: 

If you would rather learn how to make them than splash out on bought items, I can teach you how to make a hanky hem skirt in 30 mins (class costs $30 per person - you provide the fabric)! Interested? Classes running mid April - mid May. Email me on: louise.hudson2011@gmail.com. Small classes, project focussed, flexible dates, adults and kids from 10 upwards. 

I have countless styles to teach in the hanky hem trend - particularly since I have specialized in this since 1984 when they were first re-invented from the 1920s!! 

I can teach you to make skirts in half an hour - and I even have one style which only takes 15 minutes! Although dresses with hanky hems take a bit longer to make, they should only be an hour or two (depending on the complexity of the top part). 

If you come to me to learn these skills you could decide to make a dress or a skirt an hour or two before a social event, and have it made in time to show it off at the party! I often do that when I can't think of anything to wear. The bonus: you can guarantee that no-one else will be wearing the same outfit as you!

Send me an email on: louise.hudson2011@gmail.com if you and any of your friends or family would like to attend a Hanky Hem Lesson!
