Pockets

Today's inspiration is Pockets

Because where else would we keep our secrets?

Our neighbour gave us some pyjamas for my daughter and they have this lovely heart shaped pocket on them.

I only noticed when cropping the photo that the pocket is cut on the cross of the fabric adding a lovely contrast detail against the main fabric of the top.

What do you keep in your pockets?

Coins, hair-pins, tissues, pebbles, shells, phones, bus tickets?

All of life finds its way into a pocket.

Scale

 Today's inspiration is Scale.

I woke up and wanted to make some tiny embroidered hearts.  

I imagined an alphabet made of tiny hearts, a bowl of miniature lavender filled hearts, a garland of impossibly small hearts.

Yesterday as I drafted the pattern for my daughter's school pinafore I thought of giant buttons on the shoulder tabs, the kind of quirky detail that makes you smile when you see it.

Playing with scale can add a subversive twist to our designs and transform our creations.

Hearts

Today's inspiration is "hearts"

 I woke up thinking about them and in particular hearts made of buttons.
