  • EHC – pattern drafting introduction.

    October update! Just finished gathering into one single location a heap of original hand drafted patterns, that I created over the past 35 years from before and during my involvement with the school, of wedding gowns, various types of suits, costumes, and other furnishings.

    April 2022 – Ecole Holt Couture update

    Another new year! Spring is a time of renewal, and we are at last renewing too. We have taken considerable time to slow down and just breathe since last fall. Sorting through the chaos, recollect our thoughts, remember everything we have to be grateful for in these uncertain and volatile times, analyze what is worth…

    Seasons Greetings to you all! As we have just passed the winter solstice and experienced the shortest day – here where we are it was 8hr and 39min in duration – we now still ourselves for about a week until the daylight hours increase once more. It is also the season for many celebrations. Ours…

    My dear EHC followers. As you may have guessed we’ve taken some extended down-time during the summer months which has led into September and October is quickly coming to an end as well. After running on full blast for 13 years, I’ve realized that I’ve been burning my candle at both ends resulting in a…

    This photo shoot image was taken by Calgary photographer Aaron McCullough for our 2015 annual fashion event. All the garments you see on the model, draped over the sewing machine, and hung on the rack are created by Elfriede vintage couture except for one. I’ll leave you guessing which one for the moment. Our philosophy…

    Hi everyone! Hope you are all doing well in this almost ‘post’ pandemic period. I say almost, because with all my fingers crossed we won’t be experiencing a fourth wave of Covid19 or its variants. Please do take any precautions you feel comfortable with wherever you go! It seems fitting, to expand on my thoughts…
