few new baby clothes made





nothing posted in a little while since we've been moving house, managed to loose all of my project work in the process so bit of a mad rush trying to find it all in the mass of boxes that are still packed.
thought i'd post some pictures of the new baby clothes i've made, not 100% happy with them, some little bits to fix- hems to sew that kind of thing
1. white sparkle satin and purple polyester lining dress, with purple ribbon waist, hem and cuffs.
2. white super soft satin dress, with red ribbon waist and hem.
3. pink floral fabric dungerees, with ribbon tie shoulders.
4. pink dutchess satin dress with ribbon tie front

tanya whelan







just a few surface print pattern designs by tanya whelan, i came across these on the freespirit fabric designers websites whilst researching 'floral', my theme for this semester for my textile surface pattern module. These are deffinately very influencial designs in my work, i'd personally say the're somewhat of a balence between Cath Kidston's slightly childish designs and the very mature ones coming from Laura Ashley at the minute, the're quite shabby chic, in a way a little romantic. These can now be found in john lewis, hobbycraft and some patchwork fabric shops online.
