I launched my textile business 2 years ago, creating contemporary lace and embroideries and soon was asked for fascinators and accessories - it grew from there. As I work from commissions, each piece is completely different which I love. I do have a small collection of designs for people to chose from too.
Your Lace is exquisite Kate. I met a lady recently here in Australia who does lace work on a machine for brides. I am doing a vintage like collection of cloche styles and want to do a complete lace hat with no foundation just shaped & stiffened lace. I will ask her to create in a way I can shape. I will teach lace hats for racing ladies style plus a complete section on bridal headwear and Veils.
Thank you for your comment Elaine. I do feel there are so many options with freehand lace. I am also looking at creating stiffened lace for veiling and fascinators. I love the experimenting phase when designing and exploring new processes.

French Flowermaking will happen next year also.
Enjoy, Elaine
