The classic festi staple is a pair of denim shorts. Actually, not just for festivals, they are a great all rounder for anyone’s wardrobe. To make them that little bit more exiting you can customise them by adding detailing like these. Straight forward to do on the sewing machine or even by hand if you don’t have one. All you need is some small fabric scraps, needle and thread. Stick the kettle on and get involved!
Lynn had seen some of my other patchwork armchairs on my website. She had two comfortable armchairs that needed a facelift. She wanted something in bright colours with a lot of pink blue and orange.
I had some help from the lovely Anna from Brighton Upholstery too as I had never done deep buttoning before. This was the outcome
If you want to know what it looked like before, here it is!
Did I mention the things you can make from old t-shirts are endless! There are whole books and websites dedicated to the topic.
I wanted to create some dresses that were stylish, comfortable and easy to make.
The “skirt” part I cut from slightly thicker jersey that I had. On some of the t-shirt dresses I adjusted the sleeve hole a little to make it less gapy by putting in darts.( I kind of like the slouchy armholes though.) Wear it with a contrasting sports bra. Plus in the summer its nice and airy.
It’s been a while since the last set of patchwork tub chairs. So I made two to make up for it.
Want a pair? Just get in touch.
Here are some more winter warmers. All made from old lambswool jumpers lined with the softest jersey t-shirt fabric.
Modelled by the lovely Lottie.
