My name is Viv Tamblyn and I am a teacher aide, married with two adult children and two grandchildren. I have a passion for all types of fashion and enjoy designing one-off garments. I support the Hokonui Fashion Awards, where I have won a variety of awards, the most prestigious winning "Westpac Southland Award" in 2010 and again in 2013. I have a fascination with, and prefer to use wool fabrics or yarn. I also support the WoolOn Awards.
