Welcome Back!

I've been quiet for a long time - I've explained and checked back often though. Work and sewing has kept me busy, but with everything going on I have wanted to come back and keep this blog up. I really enjoy blogging and how it motivates me. I'm looking at video design, I get to design, organise and work on projects to sew and research. I get to help share some information and ideas.

So, I want to say welcome back everyone, my schedules changed a bit 4/5 blogs a week is too much at the moment still.

Also, hello to new readers too. 

I'm happy to say I have made some big plans and some smaller ones too, I've also completed a few projects, while I've been gone. - Which I'll share the details later, but there's not a later I haven't mentioned before so there won't be many surprises. Other than bits I've brought  - yep! New Equipment! New Fabric! New Sewing Machine! 

I usually buy fabric but with new projects I needed to use the right tools to complete the finishes I wanted so research led to buying some things you guys might want to see. And I love buying new tools to try them out, as much as researching new techniques for me to try.

Getting things new or second hand is always good. And oddly exciting - but different to buying more fabrics. This also means I just have some pieces to just try out  & practice with. Doing all I can while I have a pay check coming in. This means a lot of traveling for me every week., but it's worth it. I get to sew in my own space, work and be home. I've also had the chance to got to markets and shops in my work area- and there's a lot more than in my local area. 

There's a plenty of fabrics unless I am after something specific but that's usual for most people. And I like to be picky if I have something in mind. The stalls are great for fabrics, and odd pieces, and there's two shops with equipment. - Though there's only one for sewing machine feet, a little sewing machine shop & repair. I'm afraid one of these days I'll leave with an over-locker or more sewing machines. I do want one!

Anyway - back to posts - I'll be doing a few polls if anyone's interested in changing things here. Thy'll be among my blog posts as I get back into a rhythm. My first few post will focus on a lot the new equipment I have, my trip to Bowes museum & an alteration pieces & new patterns!

Thanks for reading - I hope you all enjoy the things to come.

Welcome Back!

Posting again from Saturday!

Hi everyone I'll be posting from this weekend onward - I've had other things to focus on since leaving uni. I've had courses, C.Vs and job applications to complete. I've still not had much luck but I need to keep busy and this is a positive way to spend my time, and give myself some work.

G.O : My business cards!

They arrived - I'm so happy!



I've been waiting on these business cards for a while, and they arrived a while back though I didn't share this sooner - and though they are only mini cards I'm glad to see them here and ready to hand out. Though they missed my degree show and didn't go to the event New  Designers along with other work that was presented (Mine wasn't selected however, I was featured in the catalog alongside the rest of the class, with my contact details).

Yep they are from Moo! I like the options
they give you , but the problem is the same
with all printing places no matter how cheap
 they are - postage/delivery prices can be pretty
 hefty if you want things sooner than later.

This has had a big impact on this summer though. My blog has had a number of more views - over 500! Which makes me really proud of myself and the work I'm doing here online. It's only going to push me to be better and work harder.

However, as I am leaving university I do have a number of things to work around - packing, moving plans, projects and saying good bye. There's also sorting my old stuff and where the remaining stuff will go, there's also job searching and interviews, which also includes organising and traveling for each situation too. But its all going good and these business cards will help me continue with getting something textile related work-wise in the future. I love the little box I got them in and I also ordered a separate black box for them which will help me not lose them all in one go.

They came in three colours; red, pink and purple. With three variations of the textures which you can see. This isn't a  custom design like I had originally planned, I even tried sampling some photographs but they didn't work out. Not of the images represented my work well, and there was little to differentiate the weave structure and textures and there's just white and no colour to create a contrast. But I loved this texture piece and it really links in with my work - having the theme of textures. But the colours are also those in my blog and I think they are represented well here.
