Hello!

Been a long time but back with another post.

Turned 25 and it’s been a lot of reflecting! Grateful to God for another year and also for those I have met/the relationships I have continued to nurture.

Looking forward to 2026!

I will try and be more regular with my content too as I plan to make a lot more things this year.

Love Ayana x

Hello my Lovelies! Long time no see 😅

So its been a hot minute since I last posted. I almost forgot the style of how I post pictures…

Many things going on this/last year but I’m posting this due to being threatened by my photographer to post them when they were taken.

I had a lot of fun making this dress as it meant I could try many new techniques which I can hopefully show off in future videos. The fabric was great to work with too which is great because I tried a new shop which I’ll definitely go back to.

No birthday picture this year as unfortunately I wasn’t able to finish the dress in time but anywhooo, maybe I’ll finish it soon and then I can post about it. In the meantime enjoy this dress from a Christmas dinner with my gurlies.

Hello my Lovelies!

It has been a whileeee but here is a late birthday post. As usual, the dress was made by me (in under 24 hours 😅) which I am quite happy with 😊

This fabric has been sitting in my room for about a year so I’m glad I have finally used it 😮‍💨

It has been a lovely day and thanks to the fam for their love.

Hello my Lovelies,

So again my posting schedule has fallen off but here is my latest creation which was for a wedding I went to about two weeks ago.

This dress was a bit of a pain to make as my sewing machine decided that it wanted to fight me. I was very close to giving up on it but I pushed through and ended up actually making something that didn’t turn out too bad.

I didn’t use a pattern for this which was another challenge on top of making it but it was fun and now I think I’ll do it more often by just working off my mannequin.

Anyway, as I’m not working until May, I have a lot of time to think and create so hopefully I’ll begin to post more (she says…). If you want something made as well, my dms are also open hehe

Soooo officially turned 22 today! And I might as well do it in style by wearing my own outfit 😊

Trousers and top made by me quite a while back but I think today was a good occasion to bring it out.

Very grateful to God for carrying me through the year and blessing me by meeting so many amazing people. Made a lot of great friendships and very grateful to everyone who helped me through the year 😊🙏🏽

Hey my Lovelies,

A bit of a while again but I have only a month left of uni until the holidays so I’m looking forward to that.

Anywayyyy, this was from a boat ball that happened last week and I had a lot of fun making this. It’s been a while since I’ve got to dress up again (it was stressful) but the outcome was worth it. I used taffeta for this and I chose it mainly because Vivienne Westwood uses it a lot and it inspired me to use it.

So, I will be back in a bit once I’ve finished making more things. Until then!

Love Ayana x

P.S. The shawl was also worn by my mum on her wedding day so that was nice 😊

Hello my Lovelies,

So this was a dress that I made last year. It was for a customer and is one part of three items that I made. I had a lot of fun making this and was able to work with some cool techniques and patterns.

Over the next few weeks, I will be working on a collection that I hope to showcase during the summer so stay tuned as I show you the development process.

In the meantime, I will be posting some repurposed clothes that I have been working with as I want to start looking more into sustainable clothing.

Love Ayana xx

Hello my Lovelies,

I made this skirt last year around November time and I just kept on forgetting to post it. However, here it is now 😅

I really liked making this skirt as it was a vintage style skirt and I liked how it turned out. It was pretty simple to make and a lovely fabric to use as well.

Anyway, stay tuned for more posts soon 😊

Hello my Lovelies,

Sooooo I turned 21 on the 3rd and I decided to make my own dress. It was inspired by an Oscar de la Renta dress which I loved (see last picture) and I thought why not make it myself so I did. Which saved me just under nine grand.

Overall, it was a lovely day with my parents. Some of my plans got cancelled because of Covid but I still had fun. It’s not always about what you do but sometimes it’s just who you do it with. I also want to thank God for getting me to this age and also teaching me a lot about myself which I have needed. I’ll probably do another post on my main page if I remember.

Love Ayana x

P.S. I hope to be posting more this year like actually 😬

REVIEW OF SERVICES BELOW 😊

So again it has been a while since I’ve posted but now that I’m at uni I thought I would post something before I got busy. There will be more to come later 😊

Here is a lovely review from about my services:

“I was thoroughly impressed with Ayana's skill, professionalism and creativity. Even though I've seen her work before I'm left astounded by the creative process. She took my vague ideas and suggestions of what style I'd like and made them her own creating several breath-taking concepts for me to choose from. The high quality fabric, stitching and fitting thrilled my girlfriend (the garments were intended as a gift) as they would have a long life. Ayana was very communicative, updating me throughout the process. Gentle, calm, composed. They are designed and made with love, care and appreciation for the recipient. The delivery was smooth and efficient. The packaging, pristine. I'd recommend Ayana's handcrafted gems to anyone.”
