Joining the #fgpeonyparty 💚🤍💚

I used Aurora Jacquard Lamé - Lime Green fabric from @fabricgodmother and the #fabricgodmother Peony Dress pattern.

I watched the @fabricgodmother video to insert the concealed zips! Josie thank you for the top tips!!!the zip came out perfect!

To make my look more festive I added the marabou trim 🪶 that I bought at @vvrouleaux

The wonderful gloves 🧤 with pearls and @swarovski are made by the talented artist @kompanietsanna

After reviling my haute-couture outfit a lot of you asked me where I bought the fabric from. I have hand painted 🎨 it in my studio. Here are some snaps of work in progress before sewing the whole skirt!

I just wanted to say that I’m so lucky to be part of this sewing community, to be able to learn and share from each other.

Thank you to all your wonderful comments I’m blowing away. A big thank you goes to @craftysewandso and @minervadotcom for organising two incredible parties 🎉

Now, who is going to @thebridgetownball in May?

Minerva sent us some wonderful photographs of the magical evening! As Jo @vintage_jo_sew_and_sew said ‘with age is memories are far more precious than material things, (unless is fabric material of course 🤣)’ I couldn’t agree more!

From the red carpet to the winners & Patrick @patrickgrantism

Once again thank you @minervadotcom 🎉

About my Coco Chanel Bolero Jacket…

Are you ready for it?

I have always loved French couture and has always been part of my inspiration. To be honest, who doesn’t love Chanel, Dior and YSL? When later I found @ateliercharlotteauzou Ma garde-robe sur-mesure: Mix and Match pattern book 📕 all I could think 🧐 was that I wanted to make my own Chanel jacket with tweed, pearls and sparkle ✨

I found this candy flossy tweed @giesse_scampoli at San Giovanni Teatino- the perfect match for my Venetian painted skirt. The rest is in this reel!

Ps. My first trailered jacket- thank you to Katia who was my mentor 💓💓💓
