part of the reason our work is made in-house is because my ideas and patterns change often. on the surface I may seem very decisive, but really - I have such a hard time making certain decisions. if I were to have 200 metres printed of one pattern I would think to myself - "what do I do with all this fabric in this pattern?" - I am slowly getting over that feeling since I feel that I would benefit from having some things sourced out to others to make. I am working on this and will fill you in when it develops.
I made these bags four years ago and I always enjoy looking at older work and getting inspiration from the prints and bag design. I have sketchbooks filled with so many ideas and a large body of older work that it would probably take a few lifetimes to make and rethink. hmmm... maybe it's time to get some help.

    Creative people are almost always perfectionists :) I'm very much the same- I find it hard to translate my ideas into something practical! You're clearly very talented- whether you collaborate with someone else or work on a project independently I'm sure you'll come up with something special :)

    I am always amazed by your production speed. So, despite of your indecisiveness, you can still create. And a lot!
    I am also indecisive, but it often makes me create less ....
    Love the bags.

    deborah would adore that top bag , it is in her favorite color and you know how I love red.
    You are so amazing. I would love to browse your archives one day. If I had 200 meters of your fabric I might sew myself a bookhou tent. Now wouldn't that be a most pretty sight.

    I still adore my dots bag, and was so happy to see it here on your blog. I hope you find the right person to outsource to. I think you'll enjoy the freedom it gives you to try out a lot of new things. Exciting!
