I just did a very quick sketch of a pocket square layout. A capsule wardrobe in your pocket 😁. I also did a couple of quick paintings with @Christine Vabre this morning in her watercolour group just to get into the creative groove. Now to go clean my office. Share what you are working on.

Wow what a crazy busy school holiday period. Auckland, Queenstown, Texas Qld, Gold Coast and of course back home in Brisbane. I will be live again each week to hand sew pockets squares/bandanas/scarves with you. Chatting live with you which I just love. 👋 See you soon.

Here are 5 other places... Do you have another one?

Sunday is a nice day to do something creative before the work week kicks off again. Silk Paining is a great one. Some beautiful ideas for your painted silk are: - Neckerchief - Framed textile artwork - Pocket Square (of course) - Gift wrapping (Furoshiki Style) - Feature Bag Tie or Handle Wrap - Shirt Cuff or Shirt Pocket Lining - Bookmark or Journal Ribbon - Lavender sachet - Jacket Lining You can find @Melissa Freeman 's valuable workshop in the Classroom here if you didn't catch it at the time. Packed full of tips it is $29 for yours to keep and refer to when you need it. The setup is simple and not expensive. Imagine the gifts you can make that are unlike any other.

It is for boys and men - although many straddle across genders and ages. And I have just uploaded a new collection on Spoonflower . You can find it on my website here. I like Spoonflower because it is print on demand - and I am happy with the quality. You order what you need. That's more sustainable - helping to reduce the textile waste across the planet. I design for colour type because I want people to sew with fabric that suits them. We invest so much time in creating something, it is so disappointing when it doesn't make them glow. This new collection suits those on the warm axis - but particularly AUTUMN colour type (there are 11 colour types in the Fabric Formula - free at level 5 normally $85). Colour type is especially important for garments around and near our face - like a pocket square. The colours we wear should compliment our face not compete with it. When you walk into a room I want the first thing people see, to be your face not what you are wearing.
