The Creative Wizardry of Judy R Clark
When I dropped by Judy’s pretty studio in Edinburgh last week for tea and cakes, I was immediately made to feel at home. Judy is an impressive and unbelievably talented young woman, but she’s also down to earth and smiley. Just the way I like it. I haven’t known her long but I’m definitely making Read the Rest »
The Wardrobe Whittle
I am a hoarder. A self-confessed problem-hoarder. Such is the magnitude of my disorder, I have clothes spewing out of almost every receptacle in the house. It’s really rather repulsive, I suppose.

Remaining true to myself, I spent the first half hour doing my best not to wet my knickers with sheer excitement whilst simultaneously needing regular checks for sweat patches. Smooth.

Dressing up with Miss Lottie Lou
Miss Lottie Lou is the mastermind behind a feast of fanciful vintage creations spilling from a tiny corner of Glasgow’s west end, and she is, without a doubt, as bright and cheery as the fabrics she re-claims. Nestled away amongst the hidden gems of De-Courcey’s arcade on Creswell Lane, she hammers away at the sewing Read the Rest »
