I am delighted to announce that my book ‘Passementerie handcrafting contemporary trimmings, fringes, tassels and more' will be published in January 2024 by Schiffer!

My book will be one of the first step-by-step passementerie instruction books ever published, showing you how to create your own beautiful and contemporary hand woven passementerie from scratch.

Featuring 11 different passementerie projects, my book will lead you through each of the artisan hand techniques you need to create your own handcrafted passementerie. Projects range from creating a bold, oversized tassel braid for a lampshade, to creating couture moss fringe cuffs for a jacket, with plenty more projects for home and wardrobe in between.

I can’t give any sneak peeks of the book just yet, but I can promise you that my book is going to be colourful, playful and energetic with easy to follow steps and instructions.
