Emma’s show stopping dress
CAPE Paterson designer Emma Sullivan enjoyed success at the Royal Melbourne Show.
One of her creations – a smocked toddler dress – placed second.
Emma had entered this dress into the Alexandra Show late last year where it took out first prize.
It then qualified for the Seymour Show and once again claimed first prize, which qualified her for the Royal Melbourne Show.
“I had no idea it would go so far,” she said.
“I have been sewing for as long as I can remember, so this was very exciting.”
From practicing on a toy sewing machine, Emma has excelled to recently opening her own design business – Bluebird Designs – and is operating from her house in Cape Paterson.
Her designs and creations are mainly for babies and toddlers, and are available through her Bluebird Designs Facebook page, the internet shop Etsy and at local markets.
“I have been involved with the Loch Village Market and I hope to start going to more markets during the summer while the weather is nice,” she said.
Emma has now created a range of smocked dresses and other toddler dress designs.
She also has a range of knitted toddler boots, shoes and headbands.
In addition, her range also includes popular ear warmers, rose bookmarks and trivets.
In recent weeks, Emma has started to offer small group classes from her home, teaching skills such as knitting, sewing, and smocking.
The classes are offered on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, and also on Sundays if the demand is there.
