Hello and welcome to my site.  Here you will find pictures and details of some of the Vintage clothing I have for sale at the moment.  There will also be pictures of work I have produced and my new projects.
 
 

I have been working with Vintage clothes and textiles since the 1980's and during this time many lovely things have passed through my hands.  While I don't specialise in any particular period I do limit myself to to 19th century and early 20th century items.  Of course this is  not written in stone and I do have later items up to the 1970's.
My stock includes accessories and millinery.  I have a huge collection of buttons of all time scales.
 
My passion for textiles and antique clothing led me along the path to Historical Costume making and I did this for about 10 years.  Now I am concentrating on trying to make Art with Textiles and have successfully completed a 4 year City and Guilds Diploma Course in Stitched Textiles.
 
I have strong working links with France and I shall be going there this year to teach beginnner workshops in Feltmaking and other Textile techniques.

This picture shows an Edwardian Ball Gown made of lace and beaded net.  It was sold when I was working in France last November.
