new york patchwork

My sister. Sweet jacky pie. The most creative one ( i know brothers but ….) She draws and draws and doodles and draws and takes beautiful photos . We’re going to create a blog together . Oh and she’s a fashion designer too like me! She also raided my basement of fashion dreams and eh-voila! there it was on the runway for s/s 09 . Cheeky monkey! 

Here’s a drawing of me she did with my new baby Albie x

peeping tom

I have finally found a home for the french net curtains. .Popped them behind the front door ,I reckon it looks a bit granny/Miss Havisham but what with those wintery days coming blah blah blah . Then I saw these in a granny shop  by the sea and got inspired for next seasons embroidery research . What do you think sis? Do they do granny in nyc ?

francaise lady

So i bought this book in a old cranky bookshop in paris about 6 years ago. It’s funny ‘cos i always come back to it for a bit of inspiration and it always seems relevant for every season. .
