This weekend I went to visit my sister in Brighton, she was doing Videopia at White Night. We had a lovely weekend eating a lot & wondering around antique shops & cafes, I only took my film SLR so pics will have to wait. I bought this lovely plate from the Flea Market, it's 'Beardy Man' by Donna Wilson & I got it for under half the price...

I'm having a sample sale of my 3 sample dresses. I made these dresses as a tester to see how the fabric worked, get some promo photos & try out some different styles. I am selling them off at cost price though as I am not going forward with all these shapes & would like them to go to a good home. They are all lined, & nicely finished & have...

I love the way my room is rearranged! This Saturday I forced my mama to relax so made her watch iPlayer in my bed & brought her breakfast. Also, I have made some new little bags to sell, in the pipeline are small flat pencil case/makeup bags, bit bigger make up bags, & a classic tote. All hand printed onto organic cotton & lined with...

As you can see I've had a bit of a revamp on my blog, after checking out a lot of other blogs & getting a bit confused where to go with the whole blog thing I've decided that it doesn't really matter.

Apparently it is too brutal/morbid, but I think it is just a symmetrical design & nice shapes, but I'm simple minded perhaps, not big on deep meanings, not for t-shirts anyway. I would love for some feedback? Before I go ahead & waste a loada...

Today I papier mached brown paper over a horrible polystyrene tailors dummy I found. Brown paper makes everything seem better, after all, 'brown paper parcels tied up with string' are one of Maria's favorite things. ...

I am finding it hard to come out of the bird phase, I think it's something everyone goes through... isn't it? My bookshelves are slowly becoming predominantly bird related & trips to the Oxfam Bookshop, Bookcycle & Proper Job, I rarely leave empty handed. I am trying to create 3/4 more designs to make into screens & print onto t-shirts...

I bought some really lovely organic cotton wholesale from Monaluna. They are such pretty fabrics I was inspired to make some dresses. These are 4 different dresses for each of the fabric designs. I am looking into doing some stalls & getting into some independent shops, but idealy would like to make bespoke for individual people. I can add bows, buttons,...
