Awesome day at @fashioncapitaluk. So much useful information to take in but it was nice to see inside an ethical clothing manufacturer in North London. . . #textiles #manufacturers #ukmanufacturing #ethicalclothing #fabric #madeinlondon

It was so nice to be offered a guest invite to The Tate Modern for a patrons tour of the Franz West exhibition. Great to meet some of The Tate management and their sponsors. . . #thetate #franzwest #patronstour #exhibition #networking #london

I'm currently reaching out to manufacturers and textile printers within the UK that work with independent designers on small unit runs. If you think you could help then drop me a message. . . #textiles #manufacturers #textileprinter #ukmanufacturing #ukmade #uk #fabric #sustainableclothing #ethicalshopping #ethicalclothing #madehere #madetoorder

Finally got the good news on Friday. My loan has been accepted! Now I can start creating 🤗 . . #textiles #newbusiness #loan #expansion #madeintheuk #fabric #fashion #design #surfacepattern

Big thanks to @magictextilesuk for sending me some new samples. It's always hard to find a manufacturer that will work with independent designers on smaller runs. Thanks for all your help and look forward to working with you again soon. . . . #textiles #samples #design #surfacepatterndesigner #madeinuk #madetoorder #fabric #independentdesigner

Saturday afternoon. Target for the following week is to finish my 10 designs ready to send to the UK office of Intellectual Property. Then secure funding for the next 3 - 6 months. Wish me luck! . . . #surfacepattern #studio #designer #design #textiles #fashion #madeinuk #londonbased #clothing #patterns

Having time away from your daily routine is so important if you want to be able to reflect on what you've achieved and where you want to go next.
In the words of my idol Lewis Hamilton - follow your dreams. Sending positive energy to everyone of you 🙏🏻... . . . #studio #textiles #etsy #fabric #fashion #surfacepatterndesigner #positivity

Back in the studio after a 6 week trip in Brazil. This time I'm testing out this new soft black lino I brought. . . #newlino #backfromtravelling #linocutprint #studio

This picture was taken 4 years ago today when I was first starting to experiment with linocuts. So nice to see the progress that has been made since then. I've also been away for the last few months on a well deserved break. . For the last 6 weeks I've been travelling around Brazil. Its such an inspiring country and I came back with loads of ideas and photos you can view on my other Instagram page @misspedder . I'm now back with a head full of ideas and a list as long as my a...rm of things to do. Including registering a trade mark, applying for business funding, sourcing a new accountant and retail applications. . . . #backfromtravelling #studio #textiles #newdesigns #fabric #textiles #london #applications
