What's on my workdesk today.......

Last week we started stitch sampling for our Alchemy course.  I am designing a decorative half apron inspired by the floral textile art of Barbara Jepson who was brought up in Salford, Manchester, UK, and rarely saw real flowers as a child.

I picked up some lovely French Chambray fabrics at the Trafford Craft Event last week and have ordered some hemp which i am going to use as the main piece of the apron.

  Here' one layout I am playing about with.  It will be a series of pockets with some laid over others.  This is by no means my final idea, I've got loads on the go.

I might do a lacy pinny

this is a very vibrant combination

Stay tuned for more instalments.

For now though have a look around some more desks at
