Happy holidays Aspiring Tailors & Sewing curious!

To bring in the New year with Tailor Made Studio (Nicole Picard), I thought a perfect way to set the tone for your brand new creative adventures and to give some goodies to my supporters is to offer a free copy of 

"Sew Retro" by Judi Ketteler. This book has simple vintage inspired sewing projects for the new seamstresses. It also has included a series of 7-8 patterns that match each tutorial.

History,#vintage and a daily project to send you on your way.

All you need to do is answer the following questions:

Who or what influences your style?

Wishing you a warm & fuzzy (preferably with layers of cashmere/wool)!

Happy tailoring.

All the best,

Nicole

*I think it started when I was little, I always wanted a unique style every day so a found a way to make that one favorite piece look different in every ensemble.   It's so much fun fooling your friends & family into believing you never wear anything twice!

Little do they know that your favorite piece is in almost every outfit.

Spring inspirations close to the heart

It's been a life long passion of mine to teach others to sew,make & create for themselves,I started mixing and matching patterns & projects and recycling old to new clothing when I was 14 years old and ever since then it's been the main source of my daily inspiration. I have been so lucky to help my students find their focus,skill, motivation and creative self.
