Bruck

Cant believe how long its been since i last posted on here! Have been busy pattern drafting and cutting, and am well under way with my garments for the fashion show. As well as the skirt and t-shirt, im also gonig to make a little yellow cropped rain jacket, and a crochet and embellished hat. My need to name our outfit for the fashion show, so have been reading the Orcadian dictionary for some words relating to the beach/shoreline. Here are a few!

Bruck - beach rubbish
Ebb - shore
Facie - small cliff
Fankle - tangle or knot
Gimmer - scallop
Glessie - glass
Groatie Buckie - type of shell
Sholtie - creatures/ insects living under stones
Skelder - The noise a gull makes

I think my favourites are Bruck and Sholtie, but have a few days to decide. Have also been busy shopping - have been paid for the designs i sold to Kenzo and Custo Barcelona at Indigo in February. My little sister came to visit for a week as well so showed her round London as much as i could whilst still getting on with my work. Dyeing my wool fabric red for my skirt took a lot longer than expected - 3 days! Its more a coral colour than the vibrant red i was after, but it still works well with my other colours. Digital prints are back so looking forward to getting my t shirt made on Monday or Tuesday. Anyway, wanted to get a bit done on my skirt today so better go!
