Commissions I've worked on!
Including interior companies, Guinness (the most nuts thing ever) and also a Bronte themed board game (yet to exist) which I designed over 60 cards, a board and a box for.

✨️Manifesting more projects✨️

Really excited to have been awarded funding to do a screen printing course and experiment with techniques for printing on textiles!

Has anyone got tips for sustainable printing techniques I should check out? 🎨 can't wait to do some artistic experiments!

I copy this quote by Sylvia Plath onto the first page of all my sketchbooks. Thank you, @edinburghprints.bsky.social for a fantastic letterpress printing session this evening.

📌I stumbled across this mind-blowing online archive of "La Femme de France", a French weekly fashion magazine that ran from 1915–26. It can be consulted on the BNF (National Library of France)🔗⬇️ The most exciting part: I spotted many #MinimalWasteDesign patterns! #fashionhistory #garmentsewing

I want to give this a try. Hopefully we can create the same kind of supportive & inspiring community that we have on IG but without supporting spineless billionaires. Here's a collection of my work to kick things off!

First, my most recent quilt finish: "The space between us"

It's fascinating how #minimalwastedesign has been a part of fashion history for so long. I came across this Infinite Gore skirt design in the book Elizabethan Costuming (1550-1580). Just look at how much less fabric it uses compared to conventional gore skirts #sewing #garmentsewing #fashionhistory

Hi Bluesky 🦋

I'm Jen, I make one of a kind & limited edition slow fashion pieces from vintage fabrics and industry textile waste.

This year I want to focus more on the embroidered textiles for summer, like this piece I made in 2024 called 'Meet me by the Garden Gate'
