The Monkwell Collection

Believe it or not, all the fabric in these lovely bags is recycled! Monkwell are a division of Crowson Fabrics. They specialise in designs based on eighteenth and nineteenth century prints. Fabric for these bags came from a sample book of the Monkwell Design Archives range. The fabric itself is a mediumweight linen/cotton mix in gorgeous soft shades and floral patterns. Click on the pictures to get a really close look! Photographs were taken using a daylight bulb so a very good representation of the actual colour.

Monkwell - Spring Green - £15



16" wide x 13" deep, button tab closure, outer - linen/cotton mix, lining light green, leafy polycotton. Floral on one side, patchwork on the reverse. Click on the picture for more detail.

Posy of Roses


I'm delighted with this little bag! At 10" x 10" it's perfect for a little girl (or even a big girl who wants something a bit more dainty!). Made in a traditional 'log cabin' patchwork style from vintage Laura Ashley, Sanderson and Country Diary fabrics with a candy pink, stripy lining. It even has a little button and ribbon tab closure. The picture really doesn't do it justice! SOLD
