I am so excited to share this specific blog with you. You all know how important it is for me to see young people continue to carry the torch for the art of sewing. At 16 years old, Emma decided to design and sew her dress for the prom. She contacted smfabric.com in her search for the perfect shade of coral for her dress. She asked for swatches of the coral satin back crepe and coral polyester chiffon and they were just what she was looking for! While Emma is from Great Britain, smfabric.com is proud to welcome our many clients from all over the world!
Now, to Emma’s blog post:
Thank you so much for the fabric. The colour is just gorgeous as you know how we struggled to find this colour. The material and the final product were just perfect!

My dressmaker is Jo Chafer of www.joannaleighcouture.co.uk. I designed my dress and Jo and I worked on it together.
I also sewed on all the lace and did the beading.

I just finished school at 16. In September, I am doing levels in textiles, art, business and geography but I would really like to do couture when I’m older as I love working for Jo!
