Recent Projects























Has just finished a photo-shoot for my various projects. Thanks Yuka for being the model and photographer. 

Indigo striped blouse was made from Japanese indigo piece-dyed fabric. Relax fit with little hand stitching details on cuffs and back neck plackets. 

Liberty print blouse is an adult version of my children wear project. New attempt on mixing fabrics and finishing neckline and cuffs with burgundy bindings. 

Twisted sleeve dress was made from another Liberty print fabric. Loose fitted. Stylized with hand crocheted necklaces.

Amsterdam













































I spent two days Easter Holiday in Amsterdam. Visited a couple of nice stores including Blue Blood and Denham. A small yet lovely Amsterdam Tulip Museum. Walked around the beautiful canals. Had  great food at Brasserie Harkema.

Selvedge Spring Fair

























I went to Selvedge Spring Fair yesterday. Selvedge magazine is always one of my favourite craft magazines. And their fairs only select the best markers and designers in England to showcase their works. Therefore, I was so excited to participate as a visitor. It was a shame that I missed the one before X'mas. But this Spring Fair didn't make me disappointed. A lot of great exhibitors selling their designs in St. Augustine's Church Hall yesterday including my friend's label - Minus Sun. Yuka has been spending loads of her time on preparing this fair. The most eye-catching work this time must be the fabric doll with movable joints. She is a mini version of Yuka! I also discovered some cool textiles designers and jewelers there. Last but not the least, browsed at Selvedge Shop and found some amazing labels for my own works as well.
