Scraps, shirtfronts and 2015

The past few weeks have been spent creating functional items - using beautiful linen and batiks to make some gorgeous shirts for work, then incorporating the scraps and offcuts into a new project  - a really BIG project. I've had lots of time to plan, think, rethink, plan and experiment - my idea of a perfect holiday. In between exploring ideas, I made a few more shirts and contemplated the different materials - linen, silk, cotton, velvet, woven, printed .....
Here's to your creative 2015 and making time to experiment, undertake artistic challenges or just enjoy being where you are. Life is good.

Thanks for mentioning this book, Ali. I've been looking for a good shirt pattern and this one sounds like it might be just what I want. Love your shirts!
