Autumnal Hues

Tiger Goes ‘Meow’!
It all started with a discussion with my friend about cat communication. He was adamant that cat goes ‘MIAOU’ while I said ‘MEOW’. Probably a French cat would go ‘Miaou’ while an English one go ‘Meow’? But regardless, my Tigers

Pattern Notebook
What’s with the absence? I have a very valid excuse. I’ve been busy helping out with this year’s Innovative Pattern Cutting course at Central Saint Martins. It’s the same course I did last year and I felt so nostalgic when
