It is therefore doubly warm and an excellent choice for outerwear. Pick up all the best tips on how to sew this great fabric. Make it and fake itSometimes it’s the little things in life that make the biggest impact and faux fur accessories will take last years jackets and jumpers into this years hottest look. Inner BeautyReknowned textile artist, Ruth Osborn, often uses the basic pre-programmed inbuilt stitches from her sewing machine to create stunning fabric full of texture and colour.

Celestial SilksCelestial Silks is a spectacular exhibition of a seldom seen aspect of the arts of China, which is perhaps strange bearing in mind that it was silk which gave its name to the exotic and fabled Silk Roads, and the word ‘seres’ (silk) was the name by which the Chinese were known at the time of those first tentative contacts through trade between the classical world of the Eastern Mediterranean and far-distant China some 2000 years ago. No single product better evokes the image and essence of China than silk. |
