Such lovely comments, and feedback, creating new connections and friends. Anyone who didn’t manage to make it, fear not, as I have updated my website to include some […]

The days are shortening, and I’ve noticed longer shadows casting earlier each day. Becky (my whippet) and I have been seeking shade and coolness in Faskally Forest, a couple of miles North of Pitlochry, as temperatures climb into the mid twenties daily. Dunmore Loch is overflowing with water-lilly and giant yellow flag seed pods. You […]
I am part of this fab open studio event, 4th – 12th September, daily 10-5pm. A chance to come and say hello, look around my workspace and have an opportunity to see me at work amongst all the fabric, thread and trims. It is a small space, but with doors at each end there’s lots […]
Ready for CLOTH#21 and Perthshire open Studios, I have finally developed my new print that has been in my head for such a long time, and I LOVE it! I chose a base of Glenlyon Teal tweed, in a subtle herringbone weave and a linen backing with stripes from salvaged Donald Brothers fabric. The other […]
Hello! With midsummer shortly upon us, I’ve a few new pieces online. Holding onto my Roobedo values of practicality and longevity I’ve used preloved fabrics and you’ll find red gingham Cowl tunics – crisp and cool with handy pocket in the seam. Also sustainable organic cotton denim, used for oh so comfy peg top trews and the return of the Pinny. […]
The ‘English Corner’ is a little feature that appears weekly in the Weekend section of the Rhein Neckar Zeitung in Heidelberg (one of the oldest newspapers in Germany), to help readers with their English language skills. Libor Mikeska (from Australia) and two other colleagues (one from Liverpool and one from Canada) have been taking turns […]
Well, what a long winter it was. Spring was a bit late, and now it’s the 1st June and Summer is definitely in the air with record temperatures in Scotland today along with vivid blue skies, swallows swooping and bluebells blooming. I’ve taken delivery of Scottish linen for some cowl tunic tops in old white […]
Did you know I am happy to offer a repair service to any Roobedo garments / products? Or maybe you need the style slightly updated or taken in to fit? Fabric, in wear and washing, can stretch / loosen and change fit over time, and it’s amazing what a little bit of TLC can do […]
I’m joining the Beyond the Bothy Christmas POP UP shop this week – where you can find a small collection of my sea urchin print cushions from £35, blankets and hangings from £55 as well as arm-warmers, purses, bracelets and packs of sea urchin cards from £5. Set in the new beautiful Bothy shed at […]
Rowan berries on the road…everywhere signs of nature fast moving from Autumn into Winter. It’s a beautiful time in Highland Perthshire. The forest and hills blaze bright as the leaves turn yellow, red and gold. Time to embrace the changing seasons, stride out and collect seed heads, listen for the return of the geese, wrap […]
