I make and sell bits and bobs on my instagram. Everything is made by hand by me, in
my workroom in South Birmingham. If you are interested in anything below,
please send me a message on instagram and I will gladly let you know what is in
stock/answer any questions. To order, you need a PayPal account as this is the
only way I accept payment.
Currently Available
Project Bags
The
fabric for my project bags is picked out by me on my trips to Paris, my
favourite place to fabric shop. Each bag features contrasting button holes and
cotton tape ties, as well as a hand stamped logo patch in the right hand
corner. I make them in two sizes, medium and large. Medium measures approx.
29cm wide and 26cm high, large is approx. 34cm wide and 26cm high. All sizes
are approx. as I try to limit fabric wastage as much as possible.
Medium
£7 Large £8
(Above: Fabrics currently available in medium, update: yellow sold out).
(Above and below: fabrics currently available for large).
If you
would like to know what prints are available, DM me on instagram.
Lavender Bags
All the
lavender is grown organically by my mother in Wiltshire, when she cuts her
lavender back each year, I dry it out and make use of it around the house.
These lavender bags are made from fabric offcuts, and are great for keeping
your drawers, cupboards, or even suitcases smelling lovely. I have also read
that they are good for keeping the moths at bay- so I have even popped a few
into my wool stash and WIP basket!
Lavender
Bags £2 each or 6 for £10
Fabric Wraps/Rolls
These
wraps/rolls are really versatile. They can be used to transport/store anything
from circular knitting needles, utensils, crochet hooks, drawing/painting
supplies, etc! They come in two colours: Organic Avocado and Vintage Indigo. I
have a few, which I use daily. One for my bamboo utensils, to keep in my
handbag, and the other for my crochet hooks/circular knitting needles on the
go. All handmade in South Birmingham.
All wraps
are made with considerations on how to limit environmental impact, using thrifted
or organic fibres (excluding the cotton patch logo labels). They measure approx.
28 by 22cm (to minimize fabric wastage, this may vary slightly). They all
feature several thin compartments for storing knitting needles/crochet
hooks/pens/paintbrushes/utensils etc, and one wider section which can be used
for larger items such as a napkin/scissors/notebook etc. See photos for
details. The cotton ties are thrifted. The logo is hand stamped onto cotton
tape and stitched on. Each roll/wrap has a small amount of hand stitching,
where I stitched it closed. Each wrap is different, as I manipulated the fabric
in different ways before dyeing, making them beautifully unique. These are made
in very limited numbers- please DM me on Instagram if interested and I can send
you photos of the specific wraps available.
£20 each.
(This one is a little different- it has narrower slots- good for drawing/painting- it is still available for order).
Organic
Avocado
These wraps are made from loomslate organic cretonne from Greenfibres,
which has been washed and dyed with natural products only. The lovely pink
colours on these wraps were achieved using leftover avocado skins and stones,
which make a wonderful, lasting colour. The mordant (what sets the colour) used
for this was soya milk, using Rebecca
Desnos' method.
The avocado produces lovely dusky pink/blush shades. Colour is most true in the photo below:
Vintage Indigo
These wraps are made from vintage/thrifted fabrics, which have been
given a new lease of life by being dyed using methods inspired by
Shibori.

Available Soon:
Beeswax Wraps
Please note: they are not just made from beeswax, but contain a few other natural oils etc to give them extra cling factor. Beeswax alone isn’t good enough at clinging to itself.
Each pack of 2 wraps is £7.50
Using a wax wrap as an alternative to wrapping paper (plus a gift in itself).
Reusable
Face Wipes
Reusable
face wipes are a great alternative to disposable wipes or cotton rounds, they are
also much prettier. Each set consists of five wipes, which are made from a
double layer of organic muslin, and backed onto either a printed cotton fabric
or naturally dyed organic loomslate cretonne.
Simply
use them as you would use disposable cotton rounds, then pop them in with your
normal laundry. I recommend collecting them at on laundry day, popping them in
an old pillowslip or lingerie bag. Every so often, I soak mine in hot water and
washing liquid, but normally, I just wash them with my normal laundry. I wear a
lot of eyeline, and use jojoba oil to remove my make up- I have never
experienced any residue on my clothing, but I can't guarantee the same for you
(for obvious reasons: different make up/remover/washing liquid/machine etc). If
you are concerned, maybe test wash with old clothes/towels first?
Each pack
of 5 wipes on printed cotton- £6.50, organic & naturally
dyed sets are £7.50
Everything is shipped from Birmingham (UK), I try to keep postage costs
down as much as possible, and as part of this, I do try to reuse packaging
where possible. This is also better for the environment. I do this, without
compromising on the security of the item being posted, or without sacrificing
aesthetics (all of which are very important to me). If this is not in line with
your needs, message me, and I will quote a slightly higher postage price to
reflect the increased packaging costs incurred.
Any questions,
feel free to DM on Instagram- I get these messages faster than on here.
