| Lorraine, also known as "Lady Angela Rosa
Delamora",
has been sewing since she was a young girl. She often speaks
of her Grandmother who was a professional seamstress in New York, at
who's knee she learned to sew. She was taught that a garment
should look as nice on the inside as well as the outside.
There are times when her need for perfection drives her sewing
mates nuts! But in the end, her hard work and diligence pays off for the
recipient of the finished garment. Her strengths are her attention to
detail and the ability to get something to fit well on just about any body type.
She is currently a member of Antir's
Royal Tailors, working on garb
specifically for the current royalty of any given reign.
Carla also known as "Lady Cara
Dea
DaFortuna" learned to sew by watching her
mother design and sew costumes for the "Sweet
Adelines &
SPEBS"
chorus groups
for many years and in Jr. High (when Home Economics was a required class for
girls). She has always had various sewing ambitions, but never had the
right tools for couture sewing. She only had one sewing machine and it was
made in 1912! She has produced many things on that old black Singer and her
strengths lean to construction techniques and craft sewing like leather and
canvas. She is accomplished in jewelry making, beading arts and recreates historical
garments from medieval to the 1870's.
Its interesting that between Laurie and Carla, they usually attack a project
from opposite ends, yet always seem to come to the same solution. It makes
for a balance of ideas, time & technique.
