A
subject close to my heart. I love fabrics, not just any fabric, but fabrics
that will allow me to experiment with colour and textures. The kind of fabrics that will allow me to bring the best out of them, what an excitement!!! I'm talking about printing,
dyeing, weaving, manipulating, crotchet, knits, embellishment, and other surface
design techniques; that is the excitement!!!

Splashes of vibrant colours in beautifully designed fabrics bring
uniqueness to a garment. Nothing gives
me pleasure than creating fabrics for my garments. A creation that starts with a spark of thought then builds that thought and eventually brings it to life, is so exciting. I love experimenting with different fabrics, yarns, colours, and techniques.
Below are just a few images of the many great fashion and textile
designers who inspire me.
