In order to keep my creative juices flowing I decided why not enter a competition, I love designing and having a set brief makes it all the more challenging... Here is my entry for Make it Design Home Edition for Urban Outfitters, fingers crossed its a strong entry...
My inspiration was from my final major project where I used tassles as detail, and using my own photography created a print design. Added some stripes (ribbon) to the design, as I love ribbon and texture on bedding personally. I hope you like.

Heyy, so last time I wrote a post I was all nervous about moving to London and starting my internship, well second week in and I am absolutely loving it! I have learnt so much already about a fashion business that I didn't know before and its made me realise it will be worth it in the end...
However, my future career... I still don't know what I want to do, but that will come with time.
Just a few key words that sum up my last two weeks and a couple of photos from todays outfit... I don't do selfies, I just like texture

Hello! I have completely neglected my blog, but guess what, I decided I'm back and I am going to be a little bit more interesting this time...
My last post was about preparing for New Designers 2013 and I can tell you, a lot has happened since then. I have had a really good summer, busy with working and seeing all my favourite people. And of course, graduating in July! I can't even believe I am a Graduate if I'm honest, one minute I was living the student life, the next a working individual.
...but this is where it gets exciting, tomorrow Monday 2nd September I will be starting an internship in London! I never thought I would be saying that after summer, but here I am.. and I would like to share this experience with you.. and the things that interest me. I might even do a couple of selfies, because that's what you do, right? :)

Hello, I apologise for the lack of posts, its been far too long! 2 months, time to do catch up.. There's so much to tell!
So.. I had just finished designing my final print designs and sent them to fabpad on my last post, which I would just like to mention are very reliable and my prints came out absolutely lush!

link to their website if you would like to check them out.
The chosen fabric for my collection was 100% Silk Chiffon, I have never used this before now and I can't lie to you, it wasn't easy to sew with. However, I handled it very well and I will post development photos and my final collection shortly...
Since I had a hand-in at the end of March I have been working on my Final Collection. I sent off my prints for digital printing last week which I will be receiving by the end of this week! So excited !!
Here are a few of my final print designs...
The first 3 ideas will be used on 3 of my garments.. Can't wait to see them on fabric!
