Inspiration

When I came up with the idea of making fabric I wanted to create something original that had never been done before.  I love texture and pattern and I have always loved drawing and colour, but my real passion has always been sewing.

I have sewn from an early age making all sorts of things, but let's just say I am not a perfectionist and, along with my dyslexia, I always seem to sew two left legs for instance!  When I was introduced to machine embroidery at the age of 14 by my textiles teacher I knew this was the thing for me.  I continued to use my trusty Bernina all throughout art college and this has now come through in the making of my fabric.

Each image is freehand drawn, painted using acrylics, watercolour, coloured pencils, wall paint - even nail varnish sometimes! - then embroidered and appliquéd using vintage scraps of fabric, before being approved and sent off to print.

I always have sketchbooks full of new ideas!
