October 2013 Mailing

Hello it’s been a while, I hope all is well and here are a few months of lovely clients and the outfits we created  together. Please read their generous quotes.  Thanks given to tailoring which has been reaching out to school (talking at my son’s and daughters  Primary ) and high society ( Mossimans Nth Degree Club lunch courtesy of Robert Walton MBE).   Lifting the spirits to bring joy!    Also I a have quote for you dear reader- below.........

I have just three things to teach:  Simplicity, Patience and Compassion.  These three things are your greatest treasures. Lao Tzu

Gemma Owen: Imtaz’s easy going and friendly nature made the process very enjoyable. Her experience and knowledge of the industry was clearly evident, providing me with options and guidance every step of the way. The resulting dress is beyond expectations, I can’t wait to show it off!

Annie: Working with Imtaz was a real delight. Her exquisite taste, talent, depth of knowledge, attention to detail made the whole experience outstanding. She grasped so quickly my style and helped enormously to refine my ideas. The two masterpieces that she created for me, two lovely dresses, are a pleasure to wear each time.

Carole Stone:  An outfit from Imtaz always looks original and stylish: she just needs to know what you want from the fabric, then goes to work to provide it. She is magic with fabric.

Angizeh: I really enjoined the two sewing session I have been having with you so far, I am looking forward having more sewing session with you hopefully after holidays in September, you are an amazing lady who has lovely personality, I'd like to thank you for the sewing skills that I have learnt from you, I love the skirt and the top that you have helped me to make.

KindnessBefore you know what kindness really is you must lose things, feel the future dissolve in a moment like salt in a weakened broth. What you held in your hand, what you counted and carefully saved, all this must go so you know how desolate the landscape can be between the regions of kindness. How you ride and ride thinking the bus will never stop, the passengers eating maize and chicken will stare out the window forever. Before you learn the tender gravity of kindness, you must travel where the Indian in a white poncho lies dead by the side of the road. You must see how this could be you, how he too was someone who journeyed through the night with plans and the simple breath that kept him alive. Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside, you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing.  You must wake up with sorrow. You must speak to it till your voice catches the thread of all sorrows and you see the size of the cloth. Then it is only kindness that makes sense anymore, only kindness that ties your shoes and sends you out into the day to mail letters and      purchase bread, only kindness that raises its head from the crowd of the world to say it is I you have been looking for, and then goes with you every where like a shadow or a friend.
