Elfenau Bern, Switzerland
On the basis of thirty (quilt) dresses I presented my story about my heart’s desire to become a mother, which never came true. An unusual way of processing !
My (quilt) dresses were exhibited in collaboration with Quilts.Bern and was part of a larger quilt event entitled “Lebenswerke” (life’s work). Various quilt artists have exhibited their life’s work in the Elfenau Bern, Switzerland.

Corsets sewing course in London, UK
Fascinated by Victorian era skirts and dresses, I attended a corset sewing course in London. The course was very learning, fascinating and gave me a lot of new inspiration. I really enjoyed the exchange and talkings about material, technique and more.
