Sometimes an extra special project requires a completely new design.

​

Many people become overwhelmed when it comes to print- but this does not need to be the case. For this service I can work with you to come up with a completely unique print that is personal to you and subtly celebrates a special place, narrative or person. As well as this, I will use my extensive knowledge to find the perfect fabric and the best finish- it will be completely tailored to it's intended purpose, whether it is an evening dress or a reupholstered heirloom. 

 

 

HOW IT WORKS...

 

1~ INITIAL CONSULTATION

Starting with an initial consultation to hear about the project and discuss potential ideas and cover whether there are any necessities or requirements needed- for example, outside cushions needing waterproof fabric. I love a vague or abstract brief and am sure I will be able to fully realise any ideas in to beautiful visuals.

I will then go away to research, sketch and create moodboards of ideas for the concept that I feel would suitably fit the brief. This would include collecting relevant fabric samples to present, potential colours, as well as styles of prints.

Once the moodboard and key attributes of the design have been confirmed, the designs will then progress in to visualisations- preferably using your own photos, I will add my fabric in to the photographs to help narrow down the selection of possible options.

 

4 ~ D E S I G N I N G

Taking the chosen moodboard, colour pallet and print inspiration- I will then start the design. Usually this begins with hand drawn elements and painting, scanning in and putting in to repeat.   

 

5 ~ S A M P L I N G

Once the design is finished, I will then either create or send off for a fabric sample- depending on the fabric choice and whether it is going to be digitally printed or screen-printed. This can then be placed in situ to see how the fabric looks and feels and to ensure it is perfect.

After the sample has been approved, I will then begin production of the required meterage of fabric. I have a wealth of contacts available should further production be required- such as a seamstress, and would be happy to liaise with them to assure the desired finish is achieved.
