Hi! I'm Cathy Hay! I'm a historical dressmaker on a lifelong journey to help creative makers find and express ourselves through our clothing. I'm a former Mathematics teacher, from a family of teachers... and now I want to bring that eccentric, historic feel and that sense of belonging to Foundations Revealed.
For many years after I left mainstream teaching, I tried to re-invent the wheel as a professional dressmaker, figuring out historic styles and couture techniques for myself from old books and online searches. But I soon realised that we could all get the wardrobe we want much faster IF we work together.
So I created Foundations Revealed as a place where makers can come together in community with the right training, resources and mentorship to develop the confidence and the skills to build a wardrobe that enchants and inspires!
