Rohini Spiller is a recent graduate of our MST31022 Cert III in Apparel, Fashion, and Textiles. During her studies, she became a familiar face in our alterations team, where she volunteered every Saturday throughout 2023.
How long have you been sewing?
Many years. In 1994, I worked in a clothing factory as a machinist, making defence uniforms. I was proficient with all the machines and was eventually promoted to leading hand. However, after 7 years, the factory closed its production in Australia and moved overseas. Since then, I have been offering embroidery and alterations services from my home studio.
What do you love about Second Stitch?
I love how friendly the staff and customers are. The trainers are also excellent – it's a great work environment, but mostly I love doing alterations.
Do you have any special interests?
I have some hobbies like cake decorating and gardening, but I also love using my embroidery machine.
Rohini is a welcome addition to our very busy alterations team. Come say hi next time you're in!
I’m always on the lookout for sites that keep things simple and efficient, and rockwin did just that. From the moment I landed on the homepage, everything felt intuitive and easy to understand. I didn’t have to spend ages figuring out where to go or what to do next. The user-friendly design made the whole experience enjoyable. Rockwin definitely stands out for making things so accessible.
