Spring has Sprung.

Oooooooh! A lovely bit of Irish Linen. What a relief to be able to sew again without feeling like your fingers were going to drop off. Im still wearing two cardi's and fingerless gloves and struggling to get to basecamp (the kettle)Nevertheless there's a feeling of Spring about. Snowdrops are out and so is the vintage fabric box. Although I did put the vintage collection away again pretty swiftly- I have to break myself in slowly!




My reserves at The Most Marvellous Place are running low and the clothes rail is looking thin. Thanks to all the people who have brought my garments so far, If feedback is anything to go by, you like them! Im busy working on new pieces at the moment and this pinny in beautiful irish linen is just the first. Its got this great embellished bird motif on it. I got this from an old tee shirt and hand stitched it on. The binding is raw silk and as usual it has the trade mark hand stitching and vintage buttons.





I'll be adding more pieces slowly as they get made. remember everything is a one-off. Im also selling lots of great Vintage patterns, buttons, ribbon and ric-rac which is selling in huge quantities (is someone eating it?) and also more basic stuff like hooks and eyes, loop turners and tiny little white rubber buttons whci you can sew on your suspender belts.

On your marks.......

Get Set......

All week Ive been farting around with buttons, badge backs, labels and felt. Every time I search for a piece of fabric I get so distracted I cover the table with piles and piles of fabrics, scraps and curtains. The finger of fear is probing my intestines as its almost time for the Renegade Craft Fair. As a result Im having difficulty concentrating my mind. My very good friends Helen, Lauren, Sam, Emma and my lovely daughter Hermione have all done their bit to help and I have been grateful for their input and company.




As it's a killer 5 O'clock start we've had a run through to see if we can fit everything into the space and to also help us get cracking when we arrive. We're selling my beautiful range of one-off clothing pieces, vintage trims and buttons, lots of lovely vintage fabrics and fabric packs as well as running workshops!!! from 11 till 6 every day.




If you can't make it, don't despair as I will be offering you all the opportunity to purchase all of the above items very soon at The Most Marvellous Place To Shop here in Nupton. More of which later when I return after the weekend.
