BARAQUE SCHOOL OF SEWING & STYLE - THE ONE STOP COLOUR, STYLE & FIT SHOP
...was started by Barbara Aquilina in 1997.
“Sewing your own clothes is one thing but choosing the correct colour and style is another”
With this in mind Barbara did an Image Consultants course with the Australian Image Company and studied Palmer Pletsch Pattern Fit incorporating the basic bodice, shirt, skirt, and pant fit. Also a tailoring course at Vogue was undertaken and Barbara felt she was well equipped to give her students the best possible direction.
The Palmer Pletsch Pattern Fit was integrated into Barbara’s already popular sewing classes, but as fit is such an important part of sewing, Barbara decided to concentrate on this aspect and now runs fit workshops in place of sewing classes.
Barbara conducts Colour and Style Consultations for women and men; gives seminars on Image, Wardrobe Organisation, How to Look 10 years Younger Without Plastic Surgery and Presentation for Job Interviews. As Barbara is a trained counsellor she also has the ability to listen to her clients and to help them find solutions to their particular needs.
Baraque manufactures the Foldaway Cardboard Cutting Table and now distributes them to Australia, New Zealand and the United States. Please visit the website for more details about the Baraque Foldaway Cutting Table.
