Graduation!


It's been a busy couple of weeks at Casa Sutherland. My son had his prom, exams and commencement all in one week. Plus, the poor guy was packing for camp! Talk about pressure. We are very proud that he has graduated and is off to college in the Fall.

Below is my favourite dress from the girls at prom. It takes its inspiration for Haida designs and I think this girl stood out from the crowd of taffeta and frilly gowns. Note the matching hairstyle. Don't you agree?


Meanwhile, my online classes have begun. I am busy answering questions and keeping things rolling. You can still join either Yvette or Dance With The Stars by clicking the pictures on the left. Why not join me?

Dancing With the Stars

I'm happy to announce the new online class I'm teaching on Doll Street. If you've never made a doll before, begin here. If you've never taken an online class, begin here. How it works: you download each lesson, which is chock full of photos showing each step of the creation of the dolls. There's an online group, where you can post all your questions and I'll be there to answer them, everyday! You can't go wrong, can you? Click the picture to go tot he registration link:

Dance With The Stars as we learn to make these two cloth dolls - yes, two dolls from one pattern! Explore male and female characteristics as we take this class step by step together.

Read all about it -


Dawn Quixote and Sancho Samba have been dancing partners for seven years. Specializing in the Latin American dances, they have danced their way to the top of many competitions, including the National Championships in Guadalajara. By day, Dawn is a hairstylist in Twickenham, while Sancho devotes his life to the dance and training of young dancers and wearing fabulous hairstyles created by Dawn. Join Dawn, Sancho and me as we create their fabulous look! 

In this class, you will learn how to create a simple armature figure, how to make a moveable head, how to needle sculpt and paint the head, how to work with clay over cloth to create imaginative shoes and creative options for hair and costume treatments.



This class begins June 29th, 2012 and costs just $35.
