H
appy New Year! OK so it’s December and
January is a few weeks off yet, but it’s that
time of year where we all think about what
we want to achieve next year and ask ourselves where
did 2015 go!
As we head into 2016, I thought we’d start the year
with a bit of pattern. There’s pattern all over the
catwalk for the winter season and hey who doesn’t
like to brighten up an outfit with a little bit of pattern
anyway. From paisley to geometric there’s a style here
for everyone.
I’m a great fan of Su Pennick’s designs, she’s one
of our designers that loves to use the more unusual
materials, so you’ll fi nd her delving into papers, plastics,
glue and paint on a regular basis. In this issue she has
used inkjet printable shrink plastic to make a lovely
necklace. The pattern she has choosen is very ‘on trend’
right now and I love it! Check out the earrings too as
they are very wearable.
Don’t forget to join us on Facebook and follow us on
Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest. We love to see what
you are all getting up to!
