Ennis Order

I't been a pretty busy few weeks, but I finished the Ennis order(not the mamoth Kilkenny order, that's still on the boil), here are a couple of pictures of a dress and a coat that I did. Hopefully I'll have time to take more photos tomorrow before I pack them away for delivery. I also finished the mother of the bride dress I was making. I was one of the most difficult pieces I've ever worked on but I'm delighted with it and I think the customer is going to be really pleased. It's great to meet a client first because then I have some idea of how far I can go with something. In this case the lady is beautifully eccentric, so I knew I could go really mad with it. It's quite Helena Bonham-Carter and I love it.

Ps: Are all you lovely Irish folk enjoying the disgustingly muggy weather at the moment? I thought I was going to die of the heat today in work.

New Stuff

These are a few bits I made yesterday. I'm loving the cute clashing colours with the green checker. The coat is a work in progress that I started last week, this is the back panel across the shoulders, I want to do lots more of this patter around the bottom of the coat and on the front. I originally got this Ben Sherman coat in the Dublin swap shop Shebeen Chic for free, but I couldn't decide what to do with it.

(Note: as you can see my beautiful new mannequin has arrived, yey, I love it!)
