Hello and welcome to the tenth and final episode in the first series of Making Stitches. This week I'm sharing a story which is very special to me, that of my sewing teacher Dorcas Hammond.With a career spanning more than 30 years, Dorcas Hammond is a well-known name in Gibraltar. Her dressmaking workshop has created gowns for many brides and beauty queens ahead of their big events - none more so than when Kaiane Aldorino was crowned Miss World in 2009. Dorcas has held fashion shows in London, Marbella, Madrid and Portugal, and has won several designers competitions, including the Agulha de Ouro (Golden Needle) in Portugal back in 2004. Dorcas not only creates beautiful clothes, she also teaches students to create their own at her fashion academy. This week we hear how she began sewing as a young child and how she turned her passion into her profession (Dorcas also shares a trick of the trade which involves coffee!).You can find Dorcas here: https://dorcasfashiondesigns.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu5dkQ52RvguLxlf58AyDGAFor full show notes for this episode, please visit https://makingstitchespodcast.com/The music featured in this episode is Make You Smile by RGMusic from https://melodyloops.com/Making Stitches Podcast is recorded and edited by Lindsay from Postcard from Gibraltar
