Rebecca Ritchie, Head of Wardrobe Opera Australia was the keynote speaker at NSW Industry Day on 14 March 2020. The costumes Rebecca talks about are on the podcast website. The sound quality is taken while sitting in the audience so this is very faint.

Rebecca discussed the process the team works through, bringing the initial sketches to the magical moment when they first appear on stage. From initial design sketches, through budgeting, sourcing fabrics from around the world, discussing with the cutter who determines how the costumes will be made, fittings with the artists and then working with a team of seamstresses to make the costumes.
In June, we'll hear from the NSW Industry Day committee and what challenges they face developing these learning days for guild members.

When you own a sewing machine, it comes with a handful of sewing machine feet. But do you have any idea on what each one is used for.

Louise Sparrow, Chair of the Australian Sewing Guild, shares with us a workshop that will demystify sewing machine feet.

All the details of this workshop and previous ASG podcasts are on our ASG  blog post.

Louise Sparrow is running a few interactive workshops for members to learn a very achievable way of making beautiful bound buttonholes. These workshops will help their members keep their skills fresh. The recording of this workshop will be available on their website for members.

Each week Louise, Chair of the Australian Sewing Guild provides an update on how ASG are making their guild more accessible. We're really pleased they're part of the Daily series at Sew Organised Style. You can catch up on their podcasts on our podcast blog posts with all of Louise's podcasts.

Tatyana has a great studio and she chatted about her design aesthetic and her couture heritage and how her love of couture sewing is helping Australian develop these techniques through her sewing/couture workshops and Australian Sewing Guild leadership.

Tatyana Anderson's heritage is witnessed in the detailed elegance of her luxury bedroom wear collections. Born and trained in couturier designing, pattern making and sewing in Russia, Tatyana migrated to Melbourne, Australia in 1989. A third-generation couturier, she started sewing at the age of 5, "helping" her grandmother with an evening dress for one of her many clients. She then applied her talents to suits, corsets, children's wear, evening garments and wedding gowns, but it is luxurious and sophisticated bedroom wear that has captured her passion and imagination.

Her magnificent work has been described as structured, demure and as understated opulence.

Tatyana is passionate about her new home country and her hand selected talented team of artisans. She is dedicated to designing and producing her luxurious garments at her boutique studio here in Melbourne under Ethical Clothing Australia standards. She also works tirelessly with global artisans to take her garments to the new level of luxury. Elegant embroidery, luxurious laces, Swarovski crystals and handmade jewellery adorn her every garment with loving care.
