Hoods & Wristwarmers
Keep Warm! 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.
Frog & Badger
Animal Hats. The theme at this years Playgroup Festival was "Woodland Creatures". So amongst some ears and tails I also made some of these hoods. Soft velour frog, waterproof oilcloth frog. And then there is badger and pink punk badger of course. Here is the cute...
Story Book Collage
I loved the illustrations in this vintage story book. So I wanted to used them for a simple collage. Found some perfect size wooden frames too.
Customised & Dyed Denim
Stitched and Repaired. I had these Levi's denim jackets kicking about that needed a second life. I put them in the washing machine with a sachet of brown Dylon. The outcome was a somehow a rusty colour with navy highlights. I like it. I then patched up all the ripped...

Upholstery Project No.1
Patchwork Tub Chair. I finally got around to reupholster some armchairs. Hurrah!! I chose these tub chairs as they are probably one of the easiest shapes to do if you are a novice like me. I used a variety of vintage curtain fabrics like brocades and velvets. Pretty...
Sustainable Feather Accessories
Hair Clips. Even though feathers are natural and completely biodegradable they aren't always ethical. Some birds, like the peacock are sometimes bred just for their feathers and in some places plucked alive. Chickens/cockerel or game feathers tends to be a side...
