Website

My website is still off line, sorry, its all been down to a very busy summer and the fact that I have been designing and building the site from scratch, so its taking alot longer. I had some help originally from a friend, which was great, but long term I knew I was going to find it frustrating, having to wait for someone else to make little changes for me each time. I can be very impatient, but this way it means I can put up what I want when I want, which suits me very well, and its cheaper.

Though in addition to being busy generally, I am also working on new stuff, so I'm waiting for that to come together, to then get it photographed, to then get it online.

My work is currently available from:

Concrete Wardrobe, 50a Broughton St, in edinburgh, 

and online at www.velvetboutique.com 

I recently bought this vintage kimono silk fabric, it was made up into a kimono originally, then deconstructed to be sold on. To make certain types of Kimonos the fabric is pleated and stitched in one length, so the fabric is never cut, and they are hand stitched, so are really easy to unpick. I bought a few other Kimono jackets also, one of which I've already hacked to pieces.
