  • C&G L3 M12 Cardigan assignment

    The colours have come out totally weirdly, sorry, it is a rich navy blue.   As you can see the cardigan is a super fit and it has the feel of the flow of poppies in the inspiration.

  • C&G L3 Fashion Accessory (bag for a teenager)

    The visual research & design work is presented in an amazing folded format – which is VERY hard to photograph properly.  It is for a 13 year old and based on traditional Japanese decorative box-bags. A huge amount of research was done on this.

  • Level 3 Sweater assignment

    Sorry no pics of development work & I forgot to say it’s knitted in Cashmerino Aran so it feels lovely and soft but with a heavy drape.  Just out of interest the student calculated the cost of her time knitting – the yarn cost £98 ( ! ) and at min wage of £6.09 per…

  • L3 Interior Item: Lampshade

    The design brief was for a lampshade to fit into an existing bedroom interior; with colours and pattern to fit in with decorative items, including Log Cabin patchwork quilts, already in the room.  It is knitted in Hemp on tiny, tiny needles.  I think the design progression work (there was a lot) is on a…
