Canterbury Collections May 2014

Wow.... Canterbury Collections came and went so quickly, it was an amazing experience and I enjoyed meeting all the lovely models and having a reason to sew my butt off. I'm even thinking about doing it all again in October!!!!

I do need a wee rest the last few weeks prior to the show were a bit mad, my industrial sewing machine broke so had to sew my treasures on my domestic machine at the kitchen table while also having all the children home for school holidays. Very busy times, but it all got done and seemed to be a wonderful success......so I'm pretty proud of myself!

~Everything bar the white shirt on the first male (which I would have also made if I hadn't run out of time) is authentic Forge Fashion made right here in my wee studio or at my kitchen table.......and I do mean that literally, I was sewing right up till it was time to dress the models!~

Christchurch Canterbury Fashion Beauty Week 2014

Forge Fashion is excited to be showing the latest collection 'Imaginerium' at this week’s Major Holdings Christchurch Canterbury Fashion Beauty Week 2014.

Folklorico La Virgen Series......

As apart of my 'mini' print collections I have finished up these two beauties for my show......

I'm doing my 2014 ready to wear range around some of my favorite print fabrics. As you may have guessed or seen on FB these include the ever popular Michael Miller 'Nevermore' prints and a number of Alexander Henry fabrics (my personal favs) along with a few others. I also have plans to add some of my own exclusive printed fabrics to the ready to wear range latter in the year.The initial style/prints will become available for direct sale in standard sizes from May.

Back to blog basics....

I keep meaning to blog more, so I think I'm going to have to schedule it in for myself......because I keep getting busy and forgetting, well more distracted actually (maybe if I curbed my pinterest addiction a little I would have more time when I'm online)! LOL ;P

Ok Whats realistic? Once a week maybe?

Let catch up anyway.....

I've been getting back some incredible imagery from recent collaborations.....
