My New Chino

Always dream of a pair of chino pants which fits me well. Taken a couple of weeks to finish this chino. New experiments on the box pleats and hidden belt loops details.

Before Christmas

Minus Sun's stall in Bust Magazine Christmas Craftacular

Museum of Childhood

I was pretty busy in last couple of weeks with no time to update this blog. Blame on the Christmas, busy with shopping and making stuff...

On 27 November, I went to Bust Magazine Christmas Craftacular in York Hall, East London. It was a great event with lots of interesting stalls. After that, I visited V&A Museum of Childhood. There are so many adorable old toys and clothing. I was really inspired by those vintage graphics and hand made children-wear.

The following few weeks, I have been preparing Christmas presents for my friends. I finished a patchwork cushion cover and two leather pencil / glasses cases. Christmas is always exciting for everyone!

Liverpool

Enjoyed a great trip in Liverpool yesterday. It was worthwhile visiting Alice in Wonderland exhibition in Tate Liverpool. A truly exciting exhibition showcasing Lewis Carroll's original manuscript, illustrations and photographs. I was also fascinated to see how the timeless novel has continued to inspired our modern art development. Last but not the least, lovely dinner in The Olive Press was the highlight of the trip.

Today is the last day of Handmade In Britain, The Contemporary Craft and Design Fair. I went to visit it as my friend Yuka's label Minus Sun showcased there. I was so surprised to see her new products after the Renegade Craft Fair. One of my favourites is the Christmas stocking. It's definitely an amazing present to everyone in this Christmas. She also made more collars with crochet and beading elements. They are really cool to match with crew-neck jumpers or cardigans.

In this event, I also found some interesting labels. Emma Dolan and Wear-Me are two of those. Emma uses Harris Tweed to make a lot of tea sets with classic and nostalgic prints. Wear-Me by Amma Gyan designs gorgeous jewellery and accessories by using leather. I really adore their creativity.
