Tea break in the upholstery room

23.01.18

Just popped down to to the upholstery room to see progress on the build up of these layers for a lovely upcoming installation. Still more to add by way of cords, tassels and curtains, but it’s looking rather gorgeous to me. #SwagsAndTails #RomanBlind #WattsOfWestminster #GiltPelmet #EdwardHarpley #Passementerie #TurnellandGigon #MagicInTheMaking #TeamJonRhodes #TeaBreak

First pattern cutting session of 2018

21.01.18

So I should be in GayParis with my Designer partners in crime and if I’m honest I’m feeling a little like Cinderella working through the weekend, and it’s cold and snowing to boot (well sleet, which is even worse).

Let’s all go down the Strand

22.11.17

Site measure with team #DargieLewisDesigns today, working our magic in #TheStrand. Obvs I had to be dragged screaming and kicking to that part of town (not). A few idiosyncrasies of modern architecture to deal with, nothing we can’t overcome with clever draping, which is what today’s meeting was all about. Let’s all go down the […]
