Nearly there… Just putting the finishing touches to what has been the most involved pop up book I’ve worked on so far… we decided to add a few elements of humour and ‘Jennie -isms’ at the eleventh hour, but ever the perfectionists, Walker Books kindly agreed (thank you!)

I am waiting for the definitive dummy to photograph to show in a post I am preparing in awe of the fabulous Richard Ferguson, whose genius is unrivalled in the world of paper engineering. See more of his work here: http://gallery.me.com/popstars#100009

Once the artwork and hand lettering goes off to the printers I can then start working on my new Clothes Plasters designs and… a brand new project that’s just too exciting! As soon as I am allowed I will tell all and of course, show sneaky previews…

I have to admit, I’m getting a bit fed up with people saying “I saw you in Cox and Cox and Cath Kidston!”…

I know iron-on patches were around in the 70s, but we feel we’ve re-invented them somewhat.

I think you’ll agree there seem to be similarities going on with these guys (plus, we sent Cox and Cox samples way before the shops had them)…

So we thought we’d give the rest of the world the opportunity to contact us if they want to produce some really beautiful iron-on patches.

We would be more than happy to produce patches in any designs for anybody. It took us over a year to develop our designs, and our suppliers have become our best friends and we would be delighted to put more work their way.

So, we look forward to hearing from and hopefully working with you all soon…
