haberdashery


Last Sunday I treated myself to some ribbons from Beyond Fabrics. I wanted to start looking into Nordic textiles and some of the patterns on these ribbons were quite folksy, punchy colours too.

I really enjoy Lina Peterson's jewellery which draws inspiration from the reverse side of embroidery. It's got me into looking at the more abstract reverses on knitted and machined textiles.

Here's some details from a wonderfully kitsch place mat.
