Dancing Thistle Designs

Scarfs done , shawls done, and hopefully a dress bodice 🤞 All for St. Andrew's Ball in this weekend.

pieces nearly ready to go. I've had a hard time throwing out perfectly good cut-offs from blouses, dresses, skirts, and all the other fun stuff we make at the studio but what do you do with the little bits????
We'll see if this turns out...stay tuned!

A reenactor friend needed a fix up on their uniform. Fun project for this month. And don't worry had to get a black watch pipe bag done too so we haven't forgotten the tartan for this order! Always something coming together in our wee studio...

After a bit of break to get an academic degree done... WE'RE BACK AT IT! Bring on the tartans and velvet and all the fun sewing projects :)

Stitching up some practice skirts for a group of wee beginners... such a great holiday gift idea by their teacher. Bulk order and save on shipping!

$10 each available in kid or adult sizes. We use end of bolt fabric so no color or design is guaranteed but we do our best to accommodate requests.

Missing my sewing machine, but need some inspiration on this rainy day... what are some of your favorite things to sew?

After a bit of a educational hiatus we are coming back to the sewing studio in September. What Scottish/Celtic themed things would you like to see? (Kilt Hospital is also back in business!)

Special Halloween costume for our affiliate school's director. Zombie/outlander was the request. What do you think? (Forgive my photography skills!)

First Horn pipe costume in nearly a decade... not done yet, but not too shabby. order yours now!

Who wore Scotland’s oldest piece of tartan? It appears rather unremarkable - frayed, dull and measuring just seven centimetres long, but a tiny piece of tartan offers a scintillating glimpse into the post-Roman era in Scotland.

Kilt hospital's latest patient. Letting down the hem and reattchingnsome fringe. This kilt is going home tomorrow... good as new!

Drafting a highland jacket pattern... fingers crossed it will work out! :)
