My name is Catherine and I am currently in my second year studying Printed Textiles at Loughborough University. When I initially decided to do a placement year after my second year I was a little sceptical as to whether it would be a good idea. However, after my day’s placement at Indigo Clothing I believe it is far more beneficial to have an insight into the working world.
Cheer Up
Yes it’s April and it’s still snowing.
It should be warm.
Instead, it’s snowing.
But you know what we should do? Instead of complaining we should roll around in the snow, go sledging, look up at the sky and stick out our tongues to catch cold drops. We should take a leaf out of this t-shirt company’s book and ‘Cheer Up!’ because summer has got to be on its way. Right?
T-Shirt Video
Okay, so maybe I am a few weeks behind in discovering this t-shirt video on You Tube but I had to post it. A clever stop-motion film involving 222 different printed t-shirts and a lot of patience. It of course went viral and the creators sold the sweaty tees for $30 a pop.
Virgin London Marathon 2010
It’s cold and dark outside, so spare a thought for those pounding the streets and ticking of the miles in preparation for the Virgin London Marathon, coming up on the 25th April 2010.

Faking It
Being a faker is underrated in my opinion. I love faking (not important stuff you know, but the little things). Like when you’re having a chit-chat conversation with your hairdresser and she mishears you: ‘Really? You’re a brain surgeon?!!’. There’s the brief pause where I scan the room, making sure there’s no one I know … Read more
The 1970s
The 1970s. So much to love. Anita Ward bellringing. The original and best platform shoe. Sideburns. Cinema horror classics Don’t Look Now and The Wicker Man. Everyone dancing like this……. And now you can relive all the golden days with a click of the finger, as you virtually surf your way back in time to … Read more
Class of 2010
They say your schooldays are the best days of your lives. That may or not be true – I’m still a bit traumatized by the memory of double Physics first thing on a Monday morning, and I can’t say I miss having the length of my skirt measured with a ruler on a daily basis. … Read more
