This month we are having a peak at Textile designer Liz Crowcoft’s  beautiful garden studio:

My workspace is at the bottom of my garden. It is a large summerhouse that has been insulated and turned into a year round studio. It’s quite a large space, however its filled with fabrics, beads, buttons,thread, frames etc etc. I have designs and inspiration up on all of the walls practically covering every space. They can range from  18th century inspired floral designs I did while designing in London to the current childlike designs that I do now. My sewing machine sits on my desk which is also covered in beads, buttons etc, I find it very hard to be a tidy worker and find that whenever I tidy it up it quickly becomes messy again!
 
 
My favourite things about my workspace are
 
1) its quiet and peaceful,
2) Its inspirational, before I had the studio I had to clear everything away every day I found it very hard to get back into working when I next had to work, with my studio I just step into it and can start being creative.
3) It’s cosy!
4) The hours pass by in what seems like minutes
5) I have fairy lights in it and it looks pretty!
6) I can escape my boys!
7) I always work listening to music so it is filled with my CD collection.
 
 
If I could change anything about it, it would be tidier, my fabrics would all be stored in cupboards in colour coordinated drawers!
