Day two of the Christmas Market today! Had a great day yesterday and sold all my rainbow bunting, also shweshwe earrings are a big hit! Thanks to everyone that has supported me. It’s another freezing cold day, so I’m counting the days(15!!!) til I fly to the summer in South Africa.

‘Shweshwe is a printed dyed cotton fabric widely used for traditional Southern African clothing. Originally dyed indigo, the fabric is manufactured in a variety of colours and printing designs characterised by intricate geometric patterns. Due to its popularity, shweshwe has been described as the denim, or tartan, of South Africa.’

It’s been ages since I’ve made anything on my sewing machine. Dusted it off and made this cute little elephant in bright and bold shweshwe fabric. He’s only 13cm/5”.
So lovely to sew again, watch this space 👀

I finally finished a project that took a lot longer than planned. Messed with my brain a few times trying to make up the pattern in my head and without the instrument as a guide. I used shweshwe, recycled denim, linen and a foam lining to create this bag. It has a shoulder strap and a handle for easy carrying. I hand delivered this to London this weekend and my friend is happy, despite it being waaay too big, but it’s bespoke, unique and one of a kind.
