I have a passion for sewing machines, my favourite it my hand winding 1930's machine. This machine I learned to make collars on. My collars are quite elaborate, including: Trims, different types of Ric-Rac etc, Applique's and combining elements of hand sewing and machine sewing. Much like my necklaces, the vision of what the collar wants to be will start with a fabric, applique, trim or something as my source of inspiration. From there I will spend hours finding the exact right trim, ribbons, lace, or whatever feels right for each piece. I have an extensive collection of vintage fabric, buttons, brooches, ribbons, trims- This to me feel's like the best way to bring these elements together.
