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.

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.
