Each design starts with a walk. Every morning I walk my dog through the fields and along the coastal path near to where I live. Almost every morning I find inspiration. I take lots and lots of photographs and once I’m home I begin to sketch.

I then take my sketch to my computer and begin to draw and paint using my drawing tablet. Once I am happy with my illustration I place it onto the sewing pattern. I aim to make each jacket unique and carefully place the elements of my drawing to make my jackets feel like you are wearing a piece of my artwork.

Once back from the printers I embellish the fabric with a mixture of hand and free motion embroidery and add a selection of tiny glass beads. Finally I set to work sewing the jacket together.
