Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair

On Friday 10th of October i visited the Great Northern Contemporary Craft fair in Manchester. The visit gave me a lot of inspiration into different types of designer makers and the different products can be made. There were a lot of fantastic makers who have really inspired me.

My favourite company from the day was Home Front Vintage. The story behind their products inspired me to do  research to find out more about it. Home Front Vintage recreates escape and evasion silk maps that were given out in WW2. They would sew them inside the lining of their uniforms so that if they found themselves in danger they could escape. I love how she uses this story to create unique products. I also like how not every thing has the same pattern as they are all made from different style maps. I love the colour scheme as it looks very old to relate to the WW2 story. However i think that the bright blue makes it look quite modern. All photos were taken by me.  http://www.homefrontvintage.co.uk/products
