I am DELIGHTED to have been collaborating with Melin Tregwynt to create these pinafores which are now available from the Melin Tregwynt Millshop in Pembrokeshire. I have been a huge fan of their fabrics for as long as I can remember. They invest time and care in creating their designs and colour schemes which are then woven in their on-site mill. The results are good looking fabrics of the highest quality. As a clothing designer most of my designs are sparked by seeing or touching a fabric so can you imagine my joy at being able to go into their fabric store to choose which fabrics I wanted to work with? Child in a sweet shop doesn’t begin to cover it!

So this is the result of our collaboration – woven, designed and made in Wales.
