Super grateful that I got to spend some time in a studio making something while I’ve been out here, I’ve been having so many ideas and been missing being on a sewing machine, so it was great to scratch the itch.

I made a minor mistake with the pattern and fabric choice which means I can’t actually wear the piece but the lesson has been learnt and corrected for next time, plus it was the first digital pattern that I’d drafted sooooo 🤷🏾‍♂️

Anyway just glad I got to make something.

I got sent this cafe/bar went I said I was coming to Korea and I couldn’t be more grateful
it was such a vibe a cafe during the day and bar at night that plays mostly Micheal Jackson music and a projector playing Micheal videos.

Those that know me know I was in my element, having the best time with my coffee lol

Any MJ fans if you’re going to Seoul Korea you have to check this place out 100%

Drafted my first digital pattern on affinity designer which turned out alright.
Before my making session I thought I’d cut and prepped the fabric, with the little resources I had, ahead of time to make the process quicker.

Just adding a personal touch to an awesome print. I enjoy making my clothes unique.

As I am limited on space and equipment, but am still getting ideas from my inspiration here, I am practicing my digital pattern drafting using affinity designer.
It’s also cool because it just means I can be anywhere and be able to action ideas 🙌🏾

Took a little trip to another city in Japan in search of a cool artist, it was a nice day and good to see somewhere else I hadn’t been before.

If you ever go to Yokohama go check this guys work out.

Went for a little crate digging session at the Spotify vinyl market festival in Tokyo, different vinyl shops around Tokyo come together to sell what they have available, may have found a few gems 💎

This was actually the first flea market that I visited it Tokyo and it was crazy 🤪

It ended up to be more of a vintage reprint T-shirt hunt (which they had plenty of) but it was also really cool to see all the other items people had collected to sell on their stands.

I will definitely be returning here for some tees and other little trinkets before leaving here.

This weekend I went to Nakano to check out the flea market there.

It was really interesting, it seemed more like a car boot sale but a with cool items, each vendor was curated well, I feel like this is their version of a charity shop but again with interesting items.

I’m going to be discovering new areas, new flea and antique markets in Tokyo, I’ll bring you along the next journey.
