stitched bracelets

I’ve made a new design for my stitched bracelet range with the title of my 2nd collection.
It’s reversible with “MINUS THE SUN” and “NIGHT ALL DAY” stitched on each side.

And these may look familiar, the three original designs:”ARE YOU OKAY?/I WILL BE FINE”, “YOU’RE ALL MINE(IN ME)/.x.x.x.”, and “0123456778/.x.x.x.”

patchwork striped shirt dress

This is a cotton and linen shirt dress I’ve made for myself to wear when I show my work at fairs and exhibitions. The pattern is the same as the Controlling Girl’s shirt dresses’ but it has less detail as the striped pattern is busy. The white and pink stripes were made by patchwork so this dress is made of many many pieces of fabric! I’ve used my handmade trapped embroidery resin buttons for the front opening and covered buttons in matching pink fabric for the sleeves.

“minus the sun, night all day” story book

Hello, I am still alive. I wonder how many people have noticed but my website has been updated with a new design. And most importantly, “minus the sun, night all day” project is up! All the clothing pieces have been finished and posted on this blog already but the fabric story book and the illustrations haven’t been posted so go have a look!
The fabric book is made with navy and black cotton drill, and light weight calico between the pages. The spine is crocheted with black silk yarn. The round window on the front cover shows a light yellow fabric representing the moon. I’ve used beads and sequins for the embroidered illustrations which shine like stars in contrast to the dark fabric. The story is set sometime before the “You’re all mine. (You’re all in me.)” story and it’s about No.0 staying up all night and visiting each girl’s room.
I’ve made the design section with a dark background as well to go with the theme. You’ll find my handwritten design notes in white like chalk on blackboard.
