Carrow house
My old drawing of 1920's clothing
http://www.norwichtextiles.org.uk/ is a great link and The Carrow House is a great source of inspiration both when it comes to the history of pattern, design, textiles etc but also when it comes to develop your drawing skills.
Its a shame that I never use this source more. Its something that I definitely will do as soon as I get back to Norwich.

Insjöns Väveri
We visited the weaving mill in Insjön called "Insjöns väveri" while being in Dalarna last week. They are royal warrant-holders and they use the worlds oldest mechanical hand weaving machines in the world and everything looks like it's the 50's...but a bit more dust on top of it. I don't know that much about weaving, but this caught my attention and made me realise that weaving can be interesting...and of course, time consuming. Because I brought my friend Kat from uni and told the popele that worked there, that she was a student from England we got a private viewing of the place. I should use that fact a bit more often.
The warp is being threaded by hand and everything is being cut by hand. They use cotton and linen- and together it makes a stronger outcome and material.

The Warner Textile Archive trip
Flower pattern from The Warner Textile Archive in Essex
Nap on the bus back to Norwich
We had a nice day in Braintree, Essex today. It was a Textile trip with my Textile people. It was a 2 hour long journey from Norwich and we got pretty tired on the way back home. But it was a great day and we went back home with a lot of inspiration. Specially from looking in old sketchbooks and old fading drawings. Colour, colour, colour!!
