Seamsters

The toile is finished - or as finished as you need it to be: you haven't bothered to include fastenings such as zips and/or buttons and buttonholes. You've sewn the major seams: side, shoulder and perhaps set in the sleeves. Wearing the appropriate underwear and shoes, try the toile on.

If you’ve ever toyed with the idea of sewing your own wedding dress, chances are the thought has made your heart skip a beat—half with excitement, half with fear. In our sunny little Sheffield studio, we’ve seen that exact look cross many faces: disbelief, panic, wonder… then a spark of possibility.
