It’s an unusual Making Friday post this week, as it’s not something I made, but rather something I watched being made in the studio. Over the weeks leading up to the launch of the Diggi Dot fabric collection, you’ll have spotted our little series of teaser videos on Instagram, and the longer video about the collection, too. They …
