Did you hear, I am now running sewing workshops.  I will teach you how to sew.  A winter hobby perhaps? From basic to advanced skills.  Make an east of grey designed garment.  I will travel to your house and teach you on your own machine.  Get a group of friends together?  I can also teach you how to up-style your clothes…..alter that vintage dress?

All the details and prices go to:  Sewing Workshops and choose your preference.  Hope to hear from you soon.

Sewing, a storm, my house.  Aftermath? 3 new Cooke dresses.  The storm continues through the night, the next day, more stormy clouds on the horizon, storm brewing.  What will it bring….more dresses, Colleano this time!

The storm subsides, time enough to play dress ups.

Relaxed and peaceful, this gypsy is easy going, comfortable in her skin. She has a laid back approach to life. Happy, always smiling, she embraces life to the fullest….

Fun and mischief-loving, a scoundrel, she stays up all night and sleeps all day.  She is tough and edgy, but just can’t seem to control the emotions, anger in particular. This gypsy doesn’t have dreams, instead they are nightmares.  Her black humour, people don’t get…….

Ally from Unknown Pleasures says to me:  we should do a giveaway!

I say:  I was thinking that too.

So we did and you won.  It was so fun we decided to do it again…and step it up a notch.

You say:  What is it, tell me?

We say:  Go here to find out…….Unknown Pleasures await!

We set out on the open road, in cars, I wish we had horses!  Camera – check, Hair – check, Makeup – check, Garments – check, off to the old world. The new collection, inspired by the old days, the simple things in life; bring that life back…….I say it’ll only happen if east of grey takes you there.

Here are some behind the scenes pics, can’t wait to show you the final photos.

So much fun!  So many talented people!  Thanks to everyone who was involved:

The lovely people at Old Beenleigh Town for letting us use their historical village – you should visit this one day!

I put the word out…we gathered at my studio to pick out our outfits, after a lot of wardrobe changes and snapshots, the final decisions were made.  We were going to the GOMA, dressed in east of grey and ready to be blown away by the wonder that is Valentino.

Words cannot describe what I was seeing or feeling that Friday night, pure awe.  I stood there gazing at the creations of Valentino and his highly skilled team, I think about the people who hand sewed for hours to create these pieces of art.  Not just art, but collectors items, these pieces are so old, yet in perfect condition…I imagine they have been well looked after, but you can tell they are very high quality, made with love, the artisianship sparkles, timeless, pure skill, you don’t throw these pieces away, we come together and gaze in wonder at them.

Oh Valentino, how I love you.

Nat wears:  Crossroads Dress

Loz wears:  Lacey Dress

Kim wears:  Pieces of eight, silver and jewels dress

Kylie wears:  Cooke Dress

Amber wears:  Dibdin Dress, Leather bomber (holding) and tights

Kate wears:  Chavez Cami & Franconi Skirt

All garments by east of grey.
