The next chapter of my life is underway and I’d love to share it with you. I have been making clothes since before I was a teenager. Now I have finally launched a #handmade business😬. I use either certified #organic, #OEKO-TEX or #FairTrade fabrics. Visit fordandguy.co.uk

Introducing my new dress design, the Millie dress. It has a soft cocoon shape in a #hemp and #organiccotton. It is designed to be really wearable, layer-able, comfortable and durable✅✅✅✅. Each dress is #handmade by me from ethically-sourced fabric! instagram.com/p/CYvv6mOsbYQ/…

@markowenmartin It is a small world generator. You pop a small drop of water in and press go- it creates a tiny functioning society within the drop that you can see into with a microscope. Very fascinating.

What is this instrument? Wrong answers only.

I’m bringing together lots of amazing makers that prioritise sustainability and ethics into their products into a ‘Mindful Makers Directory’ ahead of Christmas! ♻️🌱❤️ #sustainable #shopsmallbusiness #handmadewithlove #handmadegifts fordandguy.co.uk/mindful-maker-…

I have launched a new page on my website, called the Sustainable Sewer’s Directory. This page is a collection of #sustainable #sewing resources, including where to get sustainable #fabric, #haberdashery and some learning tools. fordandguy.co.uk/sustainable-fa…

My new 100% Organic Cotton ‘Sweater Smock’ is available on my website. It is the cosiest fleece dress with a pop of colour in a gingham trim ❤️ #organiccotton #organic #HandmadeInUK #sustainablefashion fordandguy.co.uk/product/sweate…

Using only pics of your pets, where are you mentally?

Happy to share our work from @McGrawLab. This turned out to be a FANTASTIC opportunity for me to learn more about phages and genomics with @Symbionticism , @srbordenstein, Prof. Steve Chenoweth, Dr. Scott Allen, and @SuzanneAFord. journals.plos.org/plosntds/artic… ps: uncorrected proof.
