Joanne Louise Designer, Dressmaker & Stylist

I have been sewing since I was 12 and it has always been a passion to have my own fashion label. My favourite designers are Charlie Brown, Leona Edminston and Peter Alexander. I took a break from sewing while my children were small and decided to pick up knitting needles instead. Something I found easy to pick up and put down at a moment\'s notice. I now enjoy knitting as my relaxation and love to knit accessories for myself, family and friends. Teaching knitting and crochet also on occasion to both children and adults. Now with my current lifestyle being as full as it is I have decided to focus on Essential pieces for Women. A Designer Line of solid colour essential pieces that can take women from casual wear, work wear to evening and more semi formal events. I am also hoping to release limited prints as I am in talks with a graphic designer I discovered myself here at RAW Newcastle and looking forward to seeing her printed designs on fabric! I also offer a Made to Measure service for Brides, Mother of the Bride, School Formals and other Formal and Semi-Formal Occasions as well as Alterations for Women, Men and Children\'s wear.
