Grad Show

Last night I went to the Huddersfield Uni Textiles Grad Show where 3 of my interns from last year had their work on view.

There was a huge range of work, not only in style but in construction too.

I was only able to take a few photo's on my phone as it was very very busy and it was tricky getting a clear shot with so many people around. However I'm sure you can see the diversity and quality of the work was amazing. 

I went to see Emily, Holly, Fran and Josie who produced fantastic work, well done ladies it was very inspiring.

Lace Buttons and wool

 

I made a quick trip to buy a few pieces of fabric that I needed this week and of course left with more than was on my list. The braids are very fine and lovely quality, I intend to use them on a few bridal head pieces.
The grey wool cloth is for a mans cap and I am hoping that there will be enough of the checked fabric left as I would love a shoulder bag for myself....famous last words.!
Lastly the pink buttons are Italian and so pretty with a lovely sheen to them. I am going to wire them into twists and use as a trim..picture at some point will make more sense.
