Here are some of my images from college.

I have been lucky enough to returned to education as a mature student to study fabric design. In the past have made my own clothes, knitted garments and altered clothes to make them up to date or look different. Always taken an interest in fashion, fabric and the construction of garments. Also attended a jewellery design and making course working in silver and gold and still wearing some of my pieces today but gave most of them away as presents ! Spent alot of time restoring old furniture for my home instead of buying new and had some unique stuff !!

Sanderson's textiles.


 These designs I have found on the Sanderson's website to show the beautiful fabrics Sanderson's have made over the years. As you can see some of them are very old-fashioned and some are very bright and modern. This of course is a very small selection of the fabrics there are available.

Sanderson's fabric designer unknown 1870.

 Another fabric by Sanderson's again designer unknown.

 Sanderson's have been screen printing over hundred and 50 years and produces wallpaper and textiles. Commissioning artists like Piper and Spender and also bought a number of its patterns from Italy and the US. Sanderson is also brought out some stimulating pop patterns in keeping with the zeitgeist. Sanderson's are still to this day producing screenprinted fabrics which are still very popular for furnishings in the house. Often  printing on linen, silk or cotton. I personally love Sanderson's textiles and have used them for curtains, loose covers, cushion covers. And have also used Sanderson's fabrics to make my own tablecloths and napkins to much or mismatch in some cases.
