The finished bag .. full of details that make a handcrafted item unique like high quality, sustainable material, handmade ceramic buttons, labels of authenticity and (nearly) invisible seams.

Nearly finished …. I love the apple green 🍏, cream & brown in this vintage Welsh tweed fabric, perfect colours for the changing seasons. And I think this bag is the perfect size, with soft shoulder straps, a round base and curved top line. This will be one of two new bag shapes in the months ahead.

Half a metre of Folia fabric from Cloth Atelier was all that was needed to update an old lamp & shade into a lovely piece for my sewing room. No glue, just fabric & thread, (many) pins, my trusty sewing machine & a bit of hand stitching round the top.

I love the colours in this batik tote bag …. I have called them ‘Antique Gold’. A simple kit to make this tote bag is now listed in my Folksy shop so you can make one too! Other colour options, Green & Blue, & Pink Fiesta, are also available. Which colour would you choose?

Another from . The fabric is an up-cycled saree. Dress and fabric were the perfect choices for a celebration dinner.
Pre-loved sarees make ideal dress fabrics because you have over 5 m of material to play with, plus there may be an unused blouse piece too. Make sure your saree has the pico done, I.e. the raw edges have been finished. This means you don’t necessarily have to hem the sleeves, skirt etc. depending on pattern piece placement and you can make the most of any decorative pattern. Your saree may also have a fall, a 12 - 15 cm strip of (cotton) fabric running along the lower edge of some of the saree. This protects the bottom of the saree where it touches the ground and this too can be made use of.
However, the looser weave of saree fabric means a lining is required for fitted bodices etc. And I struggled with the fluid nature of this lovely turquoise material … tweed doesn’t usually move around and if it does I interface it! I lined this dress with organic cotton muslin which was almost as problematic as the saree fabric 🫣😊

Sixty minutes of unpicking stitches and re-sewing seams, trying to remember how I made these fingerless gloves last year. I have written a list of instructions on the pattern so I don’t forget again … fingers crossed I don’t lose the pattern 😬🧤
