Oh Boy!
A new machine. I had to get one. I really, really loved the old one, but it just wasn't meeting expectations anymore. I mean, I had to sew faster, more quiet, and I really needed that elusive 7mm wide stitch. A little more power and a little more room under the presser foot to get that horrible bulk of vilene under the machine. It would make the dressmaking life so much easier! So I made the switch. I promised myself another Janome, so I got another Janome. The newest, most powerful, (most expensive) Janome 6500P. And boy, do I love this machine!
My name is Caroline Vermeulen. I started to make irish dance dresses some years ago when a friend asked me for help with embroidering her dress. Today, I run a small dressmaking business called Lowland Design. I make custom costumes and ready-to-wear dresses. This blog is dedicated to show my work to others. I hope you enjoy.
