PROUD

After weeks and weeks of very hard work, stress, strain and a few tears my lovely students final exhibition is up and running. 
I thought I would share a selection of their work with you.
This of course is one of the many reasons I haven't been here much recently. 
More on the other reasons to follow soon.
Rachel's Victorian inspired trapeze artist.

Rebecca's 18c courtesan 

Daisy's Great Gatsby suit. Very proud of this girl as she's going on to do a tailoring course in London.

Hannah's Titannia costume.

Titannia's headdress.

Emma's Edwardian underwear.

Nana's 18c inspired hermaphrodite.

Naomi's dress for Cathy from Wuthering Heights, she has specialised in dying and printing. She wanted to try and bring the Yorkshire moors alive in her costume, with stunning results.

Lizzie's wings.

Hannah's two face costume.
My apologies to any student I have left out, the quality of some of my pictures was just too poor. I took them all on the iPad and none are that great. Bit grumpy about that if truth be told. Their work was all fantastic and I wish I could have shown it all to you. Sniff.
Love Nora xxx

  7. These are incredible - no wonder you're so proud. I'm particularly keen on the Great Gatsby outfit. I too made a gingham apron - I was so bad that I managed to accidentally sew it to my skirt and was made to stand at the front of the class as an example of how not to do it! x

  15. Beautiful work, you must feel sad to see them go but so proud to have had an input into their lives. They will remember you, I remember my tutors fondly now.

  16. Sorry me ... again - can't believe how many of your posts I have missed recently!
    These costumes are absolutely stunning and are testament to what an inspiring tutor you must be. You have every right to be very proud.
    The only thing I remember making in my needlework class at school was a wonky stuffed kangaroo!
