Successful make into a tote from repurposed denim and unwanted curtains.

From curtains to the lining of a bag. Making this large tote for a commission and I’m loving this bold print and how it’s coming together.

Not the most exciting part of repurposing denim, it’s the most important part and the most mindful. Check back in to see the outcome!

This denim/camo tote I started a while back and today I’m going to see how far I’ll get in finishing it!

I’m loving how much space I have now to lay both sides together - what a difference it makes.

Hey hope you’re making the most of this lovely weather. For me I’m not a huge fan of really hot weather so I’be been inside writing my new blog. Would love for you to take a few minutes to read it and as always I’d welcome your thoughts or love on this post or on the blog. It means so much if you do.

When I’m not creating in the Den, I’m usually thinking about creating — scrolling through ideas, sketching shapes, or rummaging through my yarn basket to see what might spark something new. Lately, my heart has been completely captured by little crochet dresses for children. They’re sweet, n...

🌿 Reusable Face Wipes — Small Swap, Big Impact ♻️

These sets are always a favourite at fairs, and it’s no surprise why. They fit perfectly with my sustainability ethos — and every set is made using scrap fabrics that would otherwise go to waste.

✨ Why make the swap?
Single‑use cotton pads are a huge source of pollution, often lingering in our oceans for decades. By choosing my reusable face wipes, you’re helping protect marine life and keeping our seas cleaner. 🐬🐢🐋

✨ What are the benefits?
• Built to Last: I’m still using the same set I made over 4 years ago.
• Quick & Easy Care: Wash, reshape, lay flat — they dry in around an hour. Sock hangers work wonders!
• Save Money: Stop buying disposables that end up in the bin.

🧮 How does the cost compare?
Using just 5 disposable pads a day adds up to 1,825 pads a year.
If you round that to account for days you might use extras, the number could rise up to roughly 2,100 pads a year.

At an estimated £2 per pack of 100, that’s around £42 worth of single‑use pads thrown away every year — and none of them can be recycled.

My reusable set (5 pads plus a washing net) costs £7.50

A small swap that saves money, cuts waste, and feels good every single day — a win for you and the planet. 🌿💚

🌼 How do I to get them?
They’re always available when I’m at fairs, but if you can’t make it, you’re welcome to message me directly to purchase.

Ready to start your eco‑journey? Make the easy swap today and feel good about every use. ♻️💚

On a dull day I’m making bucket hats…hope it encourages the sunshine rather than chases it away 🫣

I’m at Hanham Common fair. Forgot the tablecloths, payment machine and had my T-shirt on inside out! Other than that the sun is shinning and I’m ready to say hello!

Chilled afternoon in the Den this afternoon getting ready for summer fairs I have lined up. I’ve been making fabric letters from scraps of fabric to display. Any guesses what it spells?
