A week today I’ll be setting up at Bramham International Horse Trials, and I’m still creating new pieces.
This is nothing new.
I’ve been sewing right up to the finish line since I started my fashion career in 1988.
Every year I tell myself I’ll be more organised. That I’ll have everything finished early, be completely prepared, and avoid those last-minute days in the studio.
Yet somehow, here I am again. 😄
After all these years, I think I’ve finally accepted that this is simply part of who I am. I love the creative process and I love seeing an idea become a finished garment.
So whilst some people are counting down the days, I’m still at the sewing machine bringing the final pieces to life.
Pictured here is a sneak peek of my latest creation, The Waterfall coat, fresh off the machine and almost ready for Bramham.
Sometimes being a fashion designer means working right up to the deadline.
And honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way ❤️
