Tailor Made Wintery contest: Win a copy of "Sew Retro" Vintage sewing book

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

2nd: My sewing student Jasmine's Testimonial

"My style has never been more defined and unique since meeting Nicole. Altering garments and personalizing them to reflect my taste has been easily attainable with Nicole’s skills. Her extensive knowledge has allowed me to go beyond the basics and explore not only the fundamentals of sewing but fulfill my aspirations. Sewing is a skill that is achievable through Nicole. Not only have I fine-tuned my sewing skills but I have developed a friendship with a kind, patient and talented individual."

-Jasmine Lillie ( she is wearing two of her creations: Leather shorts & de-constructed tee)

* Jasmine always brings laughter,rogue-like qualities and a twinkle in her eye to our lessons.There's almost a new project every session, she knows how to run with an inspiration, usually in the upcycle, re-work and re-fashion kind of way with a dash of bohemian/punk energy.
