What happens when 3 disciplines collaborate during Innovative Learning Week (ILW) to explore the Circular Economy as a alternative to some issues highlighted by Edinburgh council? We recently ran an event at the Edinburgh College of Art to find out.

Come to the Doubtfire Gallery to see a special exhibition from 6 artists on the theme of the Circus. My pieces are also in the spirit of sustainability and have been sourced from Spitalfield market.

See you there!

I've just created some new Christmas Santa Sacks. They are hand stitched and in the spirit of sustainability have been designed from linens sourced from Spitalfield market, London.

They include messages - NOEL, LOVE and HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS.

Pillowcase size, limited collection.

£150. Contact me to purchase, or consider a commisi oned piece to create the perfect gift.

There will also be some available in The Cross London.

I've also created a small collection of 3 pieces of embriodery for The Doubtfire Gallery and their Christmas Show Theme 'CIRCUS'. More details on their website!

Had a great day at the Lanark Small Holders Festival on Saturday 26th September. I was there as a ambassador for Zero Waste Scotland and the Love Your Clothes campaign.

I had some interesting discussions/sold some more" Girls Get Stitching" books need to re think the title to 'ALL' get stitching under took some small workshops with a variety of people from aged 8 years to 80 years!

I was lucky enough to discuss my research and future research with Ingun Grimstad Klepp an ethnologist who works with SIFO in Norway and Tone Tobiasson - responsible for NICE Norway and Editor of the nicefashion.org website.

All in one day!
