I have mentioned my current obsession with pockets in women's clothing, and spent some time on the weekend playing around with printing and stitching. Sometimes studio time can just be fun, and that's how Sunday was.
It was a beautiful sunny day and we had no other commitments so I could potter and play to my heart's content.
So I did.
Here are some fleeting images of the fun.
Playing around with gift tags...
Some sewing with the sewing machine on 300gsm paper...
Luckily just a trial given those inky finger marks all over!
Mucking about trying to work out the size of the pockets to sew - took me three goes to get it down. The size of the paper changed as we went along as well, but it was definitely worth doing. Now I have pockets templates for future use I think.
And as I said on Instagram - it's always a good day when you're printing purple!

Even cleaning up makes me happy!
