About

I love working with Liberty prints, even teeny tiny pieces because they feel so special. I made this wall hanging with my new sewing room in mind – I love how the disorganised nature of composition is made more cohesive through colour and scale, and I can’t wait to hang it above my sewing machine for inspiration.
