Biggie Best – for me at least – is very much synonymous with lines and floral prints, which is why my design for this week reminded me of these kind of fabrics 😉 I didn’t have the right shade of pink for what I had in mind, so I had to improvise by...

So when I started my design for this week, I dubbed it colourful Retro patterns… But then when it was finished it looked more like Tribal patterns, hence the double name. So I leave it up to you to decide which suits it better… 😉 I started off as usual...
