The Material Moves Shop is closed until Thursday 23rd April.
Im having a short break in London , visiting my friend, indulging in all the amazing materials moving on curious colourful folks at the London Colour Walk that meets at Spitalfields Market, 3rd Thursday of every month.
What a joyful thing to do.
I wore my me made clothes, of course, and got plenty of compliments too, which is even more meaningful when you've made them yourself.
