| Debbie Lough. Hi, I'm Debbie, I make clothes! I also do much of the research into the clothing and other items I make. I have been embroidering and sewing for almost thirty years, and cutting and making clothes for almost twenty (I started very, very young!). I have been researching and making historical clothing for almost a decade now, and have many, many happy customers (some of whom have become friends). I was taught to sew originally by my Nana, who had trained in tailoring at an early age. I've augmented this over the years with training in theatre, and design, and by studying modern fashion, as well as by making a personal study of tailoring, embroidery, and fabric and sewing in general. I have also studied the history of dress to an obsessive extent! (To the point where I can identify most later garments within about 10 years, and earlier ones within roughly 50 years). In short, I have a lifelong obsession with clothing - how it is made, and how styles and methods of cutting and working evolve over time. Debbie PS - you will see my picture around the gallery pages "modelling"(!) assorted outfits. |
