“The Cinderella live action ball gown has been the most difficult project so far which I am really proud of.”
-Nus I.

“The first big thing I made was when I was 12. My Aunt gave me a fitted black dress with a white collar that she had only worn once. It was the 60’s and black and white was very modern at the time. The night she wore it she was out for a meal and got sick of everyone thinking she was a waitress. I unpicked every seam, cut off the collar and sleeves and made a deep scoop at the front to turn it into a black pinafore. I also shortened it a lot more, sewed on a patch pocket and made two white heart motifs to go on the pocket. I thought my mum would be angry at me for cutting it up so I only sewed it at night when I went to bed. The whole thing was hand stitched with the tiniest stitches ever and it turned out great. My mum was so pleased when I eventually showed it to her that she bought me a white skinny rib polo neck and white knee high boots to go with it. I thought I was the bees’ knees.”

“Before I had a Serger, I made a Halloween costume for my granddaughter. It had lots of organza “ribbons” which I made myself, doing rolled edges on all of them. It has a separate slip to go underneath it. I also made the flowers and a headband to match.”
