What a show! We were so proud to show off our latest work at Fashion Splash 2020! This show was a huge success raising money for local shelter Victoria Women's Transition House Society . Our models looks fabulous strutting their stuff in the latest indie patterns. Tanya and I are always sewing samples for the store to show you how these patterns go together but it's always extra special to see our work modelled in real life!
