I absolutely adore hand finishing details, like this carefully sewn inside of a waistband on a #Bridal skirt for an international client <3 I believe the inside of a garment should be just as beautiful, just as lovely as the outside.... What do you think? Do you look at the finishing details on garments?

🖤 Stitching detail on a bespoke corset I've nam

🖤 Stitching detail on a bespoke corset I've named the #VanyanisImperialRuby 🖤
I adore neat binding. It's the very last thing I do when finishing a corset, and it's something I never rush (no matter how close the deadline might be looming!) as I believe it can make or "break" a corset. I think the binding on this corset is my favorite so far :) I was able to achieve such neat binding due to the kind loan of a @berninanz machine from Mary at @nancysstitchstudio 🖤 Practice does make all the difference (and I've been at it for years!), but quality sewing machines that excel in precision stitching also go a long way to achieving neat results. 🖤

Hello 🖤 I hope wherever you are you're keeping

Hello 🖤 I hope wherever you are you're keeping safe during these times. I'm isolating at home and working on my first tutorial all about how to take measurements for corsets. It's something I've wanted to make for a while as it's a very common question those who are just getting into corsetmaking ask. The tutorial will have a fancy chart to write your measurements as well as over 100 pictures and diagrams explaining what to do. I'm busy editing photos at the moment and have been staring at them got to long... please help me decide which background to use?

⁠
DAY 3 TIME - Ask any creative and they'll tell you that there is never enough of it. I'm constantly pulled in a million directions, with ideas for designs, projects, products, tutorials and more whirling through my head. It can be hard to focus on any One Thing, but I find I do my best work when I do focus intently. I feel fortunate that I work for myself because (within reason) I can go where inspiration takes me and work on things that I feel passionate about. ⁠
⁠
Over the past five years I've gotten to know so many wonderful people in the corset industry. Online communities like @FoundationsRevealed 's Stitchling group and industry events like the @conferenceofcorsetry have been invaluable in bringing like minds together. Time with kindred spirits is precious, but tricky when we are all split around the world. Last September I travelled from Australia to Austria to visit my dear friend Barbara @royalblack_couture <3 Together we created some beautiful photos with @JovanaRikalo , with both of us modelling the new ready-to-wear #VanyanisNadjaCorset t I'd designed (available from Vanyanis.com). It was a very windy day, but full of happy memories (we had a lot of cake after the shoot!). This ready-to-wear corset took so so soooo many weeks of work to create. Developing the pattern, sourcing materials, sewing samples, travelling to the factory to work closely with them, and photographing it all took countless hours. ⁠

DAY 2 HANDS AT WORK - My hands are my most precious tools. I absolutely adore hand sewing. I find it relaxing and there's something so satisfying to neatly finish a garment by hand. It just *feels* different compared to machine finishing. I believe that it is the work I do by hand that really makes a difference to the quality and life of the garment. It's hard to explain, but working with fabric this closely just makes sense to me. In this picture, I'm finishing the overskirt of the #VanyanisCelesteDress. The skirt was pleated with tiny hand stitches, and then attached to the finished waistband by hand. This technique ensures there is minimal fabric bulk at the waist :) Hand sewing takes longer than machine sewing, but I believe the end result is worth it.⁠
⁠
Nothing is more distressing to me as a creative person, as when my hands are injured. Over the years I've had several repetitive strain injuries so have had to develop work habits that prevent further strains. I always use a thimble when I hand sew, and I try and break up long sewing sessions with other tasks. Using ergonomic tools and having a desk set up at the right height has helped. Going to the gym and working on my strength and mobility has also been invaluable. Over the past year or two I've been getting my nails done. Initially that started as a bit of self-care, but I've since realised how much it helps me to have them. Each nail is super sturdy and acts as a mini-tool - helping me to push pins through thick fabric or hold things precisely as I stitch it. I can't sew without them now! Does anyone else prefer longer nails to help with sewing? What things do you do to keep your hands happy?⁠

DAY 1 MY STORY - It feels strange to reflect on the humble beginnings of my label. It isn't glamorous, and I have no fancy degrees to speak of. But it is how I started, and for those who are new around here it might be of interest. I started Vanyanís in 2008. I'd been sewing for three years by that point & I received an invitation to showcase at an alternative lifestyle expo. I had just two weeks to pull everything together but I managed with the help of my friends. @Rocaille helped me decide on a name & made my first website. @boyle_mark photographed my creations, modeled by myself & some friends. The event itself was a bit of a flop, but I still think of it fondly because it's what got me started⁠ and I took my first bespoke order from a stranger! Since then, I've worked hard on building up Vanyanís. In the early days I worked on various bespoke garments and designs, participating in a few fashion events. Over the years I have defined a distinct 'house style' and now only take on an exclusive number of bespoke orders (bridal and corsetry). Five years ago I started teaching corset making, creating the sort of courses I wish I could have attended when I first started making my own. It was the movie "Moulin Rouge" that first sparked my interest in corsets, and it took many years of trial and error to get to where I am today. Not being a "standard size" (whatever that even means) meant that learning to make my own was necessary, and that's part of the reason I started teaching - so I can help others like myself, empower themselves with beautifullyfitted corsets. My teaching has taken me around the world (I'm currently teaching in Wellington, New Zealand) and I'm also a mentor for @foundationdrevealed where I teach online 🖤 A few years ago I launched my first ready-to-wear collection which had long been a deam of mine. This past year has seen me collaborating with other indie designers @karolinalaskowskalingerie and @skadijewellery with the resulting collections coming out this year. It's hard to sumarise 12 years into one brief instagram post, so feel free to ask me anything in the comments 🖤
