Developing Patterns
Spring is approaching and the racks at our Workroom are heaving with new samples, partially made garments, new seasons garments, Fashion Week prototypes,Sydney samples as well as Made to Measure.
My Production Manager and Tailors have been looking at me strangely for some time as they unpack yet another box of my crap ( Vintage Playboy magazines, assorted ephemera, 543 Commando Comics etc ) so something has to give.
Therefore next week I am disposing of 15 years of Card Patterns created over god knows how many hours, stressful nights and deadlines.
They are free to a good home if you can come and get them, pattern hooks not included.
Just email me saying why you deserve them more than some one else.
