Woven cashmere/ribbon jacket


This is a pic styled by and starring the very lovely Glasgow-based stylist and model Sam Morrison. She's wearing my jacket, the fabric of which I wove when I was in third year at GSA. The fabric's warp is 2/60s ruby red silk, with figuring threads of silver lurex ribbon. The weft is soft, fine cashmere. The structure is plain old plain weave - sometimes the simplest of structures give the best results. Thanks Sam!

Curtain fabric commission

My first interiors commission is complete! I was asked by someone I met at my GSA degree show to design and print some fabric for use as curtains, and the pics show the results. I created the colourway to complement the cool olive tones of her room - the dark red and red/orange highlights lift the olives, greens and creams, adding a bit of spark and fun to the design. I'm so pleased with the results and my client loves the finished product. I'm looking forward to doing more of the same type of work!
