Mini Stighlorgan Bag for Men’s Health Shoot
My handy work for new men’s accessories brand Stighlorgan is currently featured in the September Issue of Men’s Health magazine in an Action Man themed photoshoot.
Read the online feature here:
http://www.menshealth.co.uk
Men’s Health magazine recruited the likes of Topman, Barbour, G-Shock, Christopher Raeburn, Stighlorgan and others to dress Action Man in their key autumn outfits.
You can own these one-of-a-kind action heroes in their designer outfits by bidding for them on eBay. All proceeds from the auction will go to Help for Heroes. Click here to bid.
(Mine’s the guy in the red T-shirt and shorts “VINTAGE ACTION MAN WITH CUSTOM MADE DESIGNER CLOTHES”, so obviously he’s the best and you should bid on that one!)
He also happened to be featured on ITV this week, which means he’s practically a celebrity!http://www.itv.com (FWD to 30.55mins)
I was asked to make the miniaturized version of the Stighlorgan Roban bag, an exact copy down to every last detail…only in Action Man size, which is 1:16 in case you were wondering!

New Sewing Workshop! Make Your Own Make-Up Brush Roll
Keep your brushes in tip-top condition with a cute and quirky make-up brush roll. Summer is fast approaching and what could be handier for your holidays than having all your brushes in one place and looking super chic.

By the end of this three hour class you will have learnt or refined your machine sewing skills. Better still, you’ll end up with your very own customised make-up roll to fit in with all your existing accessories and have just the right amount of room for your brushes. The best part though, is the satisfaction of knowing that you’ve made something lovely by yourself!
Fabric will be included but if you have any specific requirements do let us know or feel free to bring your own.
The cost includes personal tutorial and all materials and so it’s a perfect way to spend an evening, and is great for meeting like minded souls and swapping sewing tips.
