Calling All Crafters:
If I had a penny for every time I heard the phrase “never judge a book by its cover”, I’d probably be sending you a postcard from Paris by now!
Instead, I’m telling you to bypass this rule for just one moment and cast your eyes upon ‘Fashion Market II.
From the cover of crafty stitching and fabric detail you’re likely to think it was a marvel of DIY goodness and fabulous designers….well, this time you’d be spot on!
Fashion Market II is thee book to get inspired by. Written by Yi-Ying Wang, the 192 pages are greedily filled with interviews from 13 UK artists/designers who began their labels from fashion markets such as Portobello and Spitalfields.
Each page is a visual treat with all interviews written in Chinese and English, so it looks o-so-cultured. Your eyes will be bombarded by inspirational photos of each artists work, guaranteed to get your brain cells working in Blue Peter mode. The colourful kitsch crafters and vivid artistic prints will have you reaching for either a drill or a paintbrush.
So, if you fancy earning lots of pennies from your art or craft then this book will be a massive inspiration, and it’s a cute handbag worthy size so you can carry it everywhere.
You can snap up this crafters bible at Urban Outfitters.

Listen up ladies…we have to support this petition. The Government are planning on building a new shopping centre on top of the unique Camden Market (where alot of indie designers started, like in this book) This can not happen! To support the proposal to cancel such plans visit

and sign your name!
Thanks for the support and help save Camden Market!
