Two Sewing Sisters was officially launched in 2017 and is the creation of sisters, Lauren and Erin. But its story began long before this...
Growing up in regional Victoria, Erin and Lauren spent hours in their nan’s sewing room, cutting out patterns, sewing, and playing dress-ups in the hundreds of dresses Nan made for their family.
This childhood activity turned into a passion for the Ritchie sisters – every special event and celebration was another reason to craft ‘a new dress’. Each dress held a story that accompanied the frock. These frocks were more than garments – they were symbols of love, celebration and family support.
Both Lauren and Erin studied textiles in high school, each completing VCE textiles Unit 3 & 4 under the watchful eye of their teacher at Wangaratta High School, Gayle O’Keefe.
Lauren studied a Bachelor of Applied Science – Fashion Design at RMIT alongside a Certificate IV in Millinery at Kangan Batman Institute. She has taught fashion and footwear at RMIT University and Homesglen TAFE, and created hats with Louise Macdonald Millinery in Melbourne and Edwina Ibbotson in London.
Erin studied a Bachelor of Law and Bachelor of Arts at Deakin University and now works as a Lawyer. She continues to sew frocks on the side as a creative break from her work.
Erin and Lauren also run a popular sewing blog and offer dressmaking services from their Collins Street studio in the heart of Melbourne.
