Luscious Lime

I've had this fabric for a while, but not known what to make with it. Inspiration struck yesterday and within the space of a couple of hours I had two new bags and two more on the way. First a couple of tote bags - these are slightly smaller than the normal (I wanted dainty not voluminous!) and the pocket is on the outside. This one is finished with a rosette and vintage button. The other one (not shown) is finished simply with three little vintage 'crystal' effect buttons on the edge of the pocket.
Then a couple more slouchy bags (I've given up on snowy bags - it just didn't sound right!)
No fancy embellishments on these, just that gorgeous lime linen and a couple of vintage maroon buttons back to back as a fastener.

Monsoon Snowy bag

Another snowy bag - Monsoon (made from repurposed fabric from a company of the same name!) This bag is in a lovely soft turquoise/teal tweed fabric comprising wool, silk and cotton.


Fastened with a teal button and hand finished with a subtle line of beads and sequins.
Lining is teal satin. Three internal pockets.

Harvest Festival




Three totes, all slightly different, made from the Designers Guild Passiflora Collection of fabrics.

Winter Sun - in pale, wintery yellows, creams and beiges.
Autumn Leaves - in russet, chocolate and orange

Funky Chicken Pot Holders - £12 pair



Decorative and useful, these funky chicken pot holders are the perfect addition for your kitchen! Hand made to order, they are available in various colours so that they can be co-ordinated to your kitchen.


Made from 100% cotton, recycled fabric used where possible, but for durability mostly new cotton will be used. Hand finished with co-ordinating bias binding and a beady button eye adds the final touch.


Wadding is Warm Insul-Bright - a space age wadding that is thin and light but provides excellent heat resistence: "Insul~Bright consists of hollow, polyester fibers needlepunched through a nonwoven substrate and through a reflective mylar. The needled material is breathable and won’t break down with washing. The hollow fibers resist conduction while the reflective mylar resists radiant energy. The energy, hot or cold, is reflected back to its source."



In addition, they contain an extra layer of poly-cotton wadding to protect your fingers!

Single pot holders can be made - but chickens get lonely on their own so two are always better than one! However, if you really only need one chicken, that can be arranged. Single chickens £7 each.

Email me with your colour preferences and I will email a picture of the fabrics available. Once ordered, allow 5 days plus posting time.
