I just thought I would show you what I have made with my first piece of block printing. You can read more about the printing process here.
Despite Andy, the teacher's, adversion/phobia to mushrooms, I still am glad with this choice. I used the tutorial on the link below to make a large pencil case. It is for my daughter to store some of her sewing tools, so is on its way to London. You can't see from the photo, but it has a dark denim back, blue cotton lining and red zip. The tutorial was really helpful, showing how to insert a zip neatly in a case with a lining.
Last Friday we went to a local
primary school, helped with some blockprinting workshops. The children
worked together to make banners, with insects, leaves and flowers, which
hopefully I will show you. Fun beng back in a school. Now we have the
rest of the course to complete our own banners for the school. Not very
happy with mine, but there is still a bit of time left to work on it.
My daughter is now at her second internship in London. With the first company, Nicholas Daley, she went to the British Fashion Awards at the Albert Hall, and wore the denim trousers I made her last summer. We laughed a lot that her "intern trousers" made it to the big time. She did say that apart from her boss Nicholas Daley they were all quite underdressed, but somewhere there is a photo of the group of colleagues on the red carpet. I would so like to see that photo. She had such a good time with Nicholas Daley, learning a lot and being given a lot of responsibility. I think she fell on her feet here, so am hoping the next internship will be just as good.
