Hello, and thankyou. My friends call me Annie, and I would like to Welcome you to the Designer Stitch web site. Please come back often, as I will be constantly updating you with new and exciting tips, techniques, and the chance to meet other like minded individuals. Let me tell you a bit about myself.
I am 44 years young, and I live in Australia. More often than not though, you will find me spending most of my free time on the coast, where I have built a small house ( yes I even have my own nail guns..fantastic tools !!!), which is about a 2 minute walk from the surf beach.
I originally studied as a Textile Designer
( the photo on the top left was a range of swimwear that I developed under my own label- I designed both the fabric print, and style of
the garment ) but unfortunately jobs in this field are few and far between.
I then went on and completed further study in clothing design, which has enabled me to work as a freelance designer for the past 22 years, developing clothing ranges for a number of women's wear companies in Australia( photo at bottom left). I develop these ranges from a size 8 through to a size 24.
My first love will always be textile design, so I aim to direct myself back into that field one day!!!!!!! I have also taught adult education for the past 22 years at both a TAFE and University level, in clothing, textiles and millinery studies. As a result of my vast teaching experience I now own and operate my own school, The Designer Stitch School of Fashion and Design.
For any information regarding my school, or aspects of this web site, please contact me at

Thank you and good luck...................... .........................................................Annie
