Walking dictionary
I need to start collecting words/definitions out of the dictionary again, to be made into a print to go onto a stretch cotton sateen, or possibly a wool challis. Then I can make a walking dictionary dress Bookmark on Delicious Digg this post Recommend on Facebook Share on Linkedin share via Reddit Share with Stumblers [...]

The Perils of a Control Freak
Some years ago I thought I really must re-do the Stone Fabrics website as it was dated and not entirely user friendly, it took me this long to get there, I wanted to give up NUMEROUS times. I tried to get some far more qualified people to do it, but monetary/aesthetic/practical reasons… and just plain bloody [...]
Non-standard standard measurements.
I am trying to design a T-Shirt. I *could* just use the cut of a T-Shirt I like, tweak it here and there for my aims and be done with it, but the masochist in me wanted to look at the figures and develop my *own* standard measurements. I guess I’m as bad as the [...]

A repeat pattern can look fine until it is [...]

If I were to describe my dream brief for a dipping-my-toes-into-the-water kind of affair, my first manufacturing [...]

zippy dress prototype
iPhones are rubbish at taking pictures. Okay-so the light is dismal blah blah blah, but really. …..Do my feet ALWAYS do that? I hate photos of me. Particularly at the end of a long day in the shop. I do love the dress though, so this pic is allowed. Zips closed. The fabric is a [...]
