With the cooler weather now here, we're so happy to let our customers know that Hayley & her beautifully tailored coats are now back at The Makers Lounge.
I started sewing as a teenager and quickly discovered that I could combine my passion for op shopping with repurposing and creating new from old.
This concept of slow fashion, with time invested to create a garment from remnant pieces, often with the size of the fabric piece dictating what could become, is satisfying on so many levels.
Coats quickly became my favourite thing to make!
I love the whole process of planning, preparing, cutting, and putting the finished garment together with the lining, buttons and accessories to suit the feel and style of the coat. And who doesn't need a great winter coat in Dunedin!
You can shop Halcyon Days in store or you can find her on Facebook.
