Fiona Fagan has a passion for textiles. She trained as a pattern maker and later as a textile designer, using the harsh rural landscape in which she grew up as an inspiration for her designs; Fiona learned to sew at a young age and quickly developed an awareness of and interest in beautiful fabrics. In her career Fiona has designed bed linen, swimwear, fashion, ceramics, soft furnishings and stationery. Her designs encompass traditional hand-painted and computer- generated designs, and always use natural fabrics. Fiona currently runs Simply This, a small independent textile company which specialises in printing fabrics with interesting design elements and transforming them into items of soft furnishings.
