All about my experiments in fabric and altering clothes as well as the jewellery that I attempt to make a living with.

I finally did it! I unpicked my lovely zip and took in that batik skirt. I also added a bit of trim to the hem and I think it really lifts the skirt and makes it feel really summery.
(I'm standing wonkily rather than the skirt being wonky!)
I've been working as a self-employed jewellery designer and tutor for 6 years and it's the best decision I've ever made! Yes, I hardly earn anything. Yes, I get stressed when I'm planning classes for a new group. But this is a proper life - no more being stuck in a dingey grey office being shouted out by stressed out execs!
I've recently changed direction and I'm doing a lot more textiles now. You can see about my journey on my blog: www.kirajones.co.uk
