I haven’t completely disappeared…just busy busy preparing portfolios for university, catching up on college projects, procrastinating and then getting stressed about procrastinating ̵...
In the last ‘fashion college’ post, I wrote about our most recent project of designing costumes for the local Olympic festival. This time round I have a bunch of samples to share with you...
With no signs of my (fairly) new love of printing disappearing any time soon, I decided it was time to organise a dedicated space for it and stop imposing on the laundry room. Slowly but surely, ever...
Last term was all about trying different specialisms, like fine art (2D and 3D), film photography, life drawing and more. It was great, but now I’m happy being back focused on fashion and texti...
Ahh can you believe we are already a week into 2012? I hope you all enjoyed the holidays and are excited for what the New Year has to bring! I’ve been a bit busy with college work and finishing...
Have a good one!
This is less of a DIY and more of a fun idea for supereasy handmade wrapping paper. If you’re like me and have left things a little last minute..ahem..this is a quick option for making some spe...
I’ve received a few requests recently on the printing I keep posting about, so decided to snap a couple of photos this morning. Hopefully it will show you how easy it is – and addictive! ...
Long time no see! I thought it was time for an update. Actually I was prompted by some people at college. It’s always lovely to hear that others actually read and enjoy this blog, especially if...
Every Monday morning I have an art history lecture to attend at college, which we all moan about being the start of the week and all. Secretly though, I quite enjoy them.. Of course we take notes thr...
Recently I’ve been busy knitting for a couple of custom orders which are quite exciting! But I have also been thinking about new items for the shop. It’s been just over a year since I fir...
Giffords Circus By Ellen Von Unwerth from nathan guillaumey on Vimeo. We are all rather devoted fans of Giffords Circus in my family and never miss their (almost) annual performances, so you can imag...
Another bits + pieces post this week..(albeit a shorter edition). It’s fun but I do tend to forget to photograph things through the week! 1). Who doesn’t love pom poms? Today I just fanci...
Some of you who follow me on facebook might have noticed that I’ve been experimenting with printing recently and this is the result! Anyone who doesn’t recognise this dress as a direct co...
I always enjoy Bleubird’s ‘bits + pieces’ weekly posts and decided to join in on the fun this week. Maybe starting a regular post each week will spur me into blogging properly again...
Recently I have been all at sea.. dreaming a little too much, and not doing a lot to make it all happen. I’m determined to get out of this creative rut, starting with this little DIY. I made a ...
Gosh, have there only been two posts so far this October? How is it that being surrounded by all this wonderful Autumnal inspiration, I still cannot bring myself to sew properly or even blog… S...
Well it’s taken enough time, but my Etsy shop has finally been taken off vacation and is open again! My plan was to create lots of new items in time for September and possibly even launch a new...
This last Friday my college organised for the Art students to take a trip to Oxford, where we were encouraged to visit a variety of galleries and museums for inspiration and as a drawing activity. We...
Thank you for the positive comments on the last ‘fashion college’ post! This last week we have been trying out different forms of printing for the 3-day project which was really fun. I en...
I mentioned how already I had been sewing from my Japan fabric stash..well here are a couple of things I made for myself. Do I need another tote bag? Hmm..that is really beside the point (>.<) ...
This year is my second, and final, year studying fashion at college. It was really fun sharing the process of my Final Project a few months ago, so I decided to try that more regularly this year, if ...
Visiting Nippori, e.g. fabric district, was definitely a highlight of my trip to Japan. Saying that..pretty much everyday was a highlight ^.^ I wish I could have spent a little longer wandering round...
When I was in Japan with Reina, one of our favourite things to do was explore the shops and cafés of the little towns around Tokyo. I love how you can find regular shops on the main streets, then wan...
This past week has consisted of me trying to catch up on sleep and prepare for a new year at college. We had a summer project set (sent out late) which resulted in some frantic sketchbook work over t...
Hey, I’m back! The past four weeks in Japan have been indescribable…like nothing I have ever experienced before. Japan is such a different country from the UK, in just about every way, bu...
Tomorrow is the day I leave for Japan, and in 24 hours I will be flying over Tokyo…! I am so excited, as I’m sure you have gathered over my last posts raving about the trip. Seeing my fri...
This is probably the last ‘reinvented wardrobe’ post, as I don’t plan to sew again before going abroad, which was what this series was all about. Creating new and versatile items to...
I am one of those people who is always cold – to put that in context, when others are wandering around in short sleeves, I feel most comfortable in a cardigan and coat. It’s true and slig...
Well it has taken a while to set up, but finally I have listed some handmade dresses into my Etsy shop. There are only 3 so far, but I hope to add a couple more items soon. My shop is only open 1 mor...
