I love little prints

Sketching

A little sketch printed on to fabric with applique.

Research...

Recently I have been researching ideas for some new designs. I took a trip to the Victoria and Albert Museum to take some photos of the lovely prints on display there and get some colour inspiration too!

Officially a freelance designer

This blog was intended to keep you up to date with my career in textiles. I now have a lovely agent and I have just finished my first collection for her! The photo above is just a small snippet and is obviously subject to copyright laws. I am having a lot of fun being back in the print room and I am looking forward to designing my next collection!

Handmade

Here are a few of the bags and purses that I have been making! I am hoping to start an etsy shop soon! These ones have all been made from vintage fabric and trimmings that I have acquired from various great aunts and grandmas! please email me if you want to purchase one of these.

Inspiration

Feeling inspired by the things around the house and the bits I have acquired!

A page from my sketchbook.

This is a little card design I have been working on. I've been teaching myself illustrator and I love it!

One of my favourite blogs is http://recordtheday.blogspot.com/ which I love to look at to get inspiration! I love the way she puts things together and collages her ideas. I especially love the vintage style ones.

New Designers

Exhibiting at New Designers went well, thank you to every one who came to chat to us on the UEL stand!

Now it's all about looking to the future and becoming a designer!

Exhibition - Vintage Ornament

Beging to put togther my final collection which will consist of 3 wallpaper designs, a fold out french screen and a furnishing fabric.

Preparation for the print room for when I go back into uni after the Easter break.

more samples

Welcome to my blog. This is where I will post pictures of my work as it progresses right up to my graduation exhibition. After that I'm will use this blog to document how I get on in the industry - and who knows how that will turn out! I hope you enjoy the images of my work.

This is the begining of the end - experimenting with designs and materials such as flock and foil!
