‘I like having a permanent moodboard that I keep adding to.’ In just six years, Catherine Nice has built quite the print design empire. Her studio, Kitty McCall, launched in 2011 when Catherine decided to go it alone after years spent designing for commercial studios. Named after her grandmother, whose regular encouragement on Catherine’s work contributed so much to her career as an artist, Kitty McCall is known for innovative designs in sumptuous colour palettes, inspired by mid-century modern, Bauhaus and artists such as David Hockney and Henri Matisse. Catherine uses papercutting and collage to create her vibrant palettes, while the end product is created by local craftsmen using British materials – quality and integrity is a company priority.

Just make sure to pre-wash your fabric, as it could affect the finished size. 01 Use a tape…

With a blog tagline that promises ‘colour, pattern and patina’, Ruth Matthews’ home was never going to be boring. Describing herself as a “bohemian maximalist with an eclectic taste”, the 100-year-old walls of her three-bed South London semi are decorated with sultry shades of grey, deep Prussian blues and apple greens.

 Colour has always been at the heart of my universe. I graduated in textile design in the 60s, the decade when colours and patterns changed character, moving from romantic and ornate to more bold and graphic. And, even now, flowers and foliage are still on my mind. At present, nature is in late summer bloom, and I follow its subtle changes from day to day. This year, I filled my greenhouse with blooming blossoms and cucumber, tomato and grape plants, while the balcony is laden with orange geraniums, yellow nasturtiums and a swirling slender plant whose name escapes me! Nature is a never-ending source of ideas for my creations, be it in the dramatic salt deserts of Bolivia or in my own garden. Most recently, I’ve found inspiration in Sintra’s…

HOLDING THE HOOK Try both methods and see which works best PENCIL METHOD Hold the hook in your dominant hand like a pencil, roughly 3-5cm (1¼-2") from the hooked end.
