I'm on a mission to save fabric from landfill. I create alsorts from fabric scraps big or small.

18/06/2024

And the wonderful is still emerging from my scrap fabrics. Secretly I have lots n lots, I kinda hoard them but I aim to create more n more wonderful from them. This space is worth watching. 😉

I'm back. Again. Where have I been. Well, I pulled a muscle n spent a wk in bed. That was 3 wks ago.
I'm still healing but, I'm still playing with fabric n paper n paints etc etc.

From fabric destined for the bin, the wonderful can begin. 💓😍😘

It's been a whole Yr since I posted on this page.
Let's see if we can get this page going.
Pictured is a baby changing bag made as a gift using fabric saved from landfill.
These can b made from old clothes/jeans or bedding/curtains and off cuts.
This means that these bags can b very personal.
Message for more details.

Good afternoon
I've somewhat been neglecting this page recently.
At the moment I have no new bags to show (was working on other things )
I also opened an old page of mine n things have progressed very quickly.
So please bare with me as some seriously good stuff is coming.
Pictured below is one of my zipped bags. I don't have the measurements off hand, however it's plenty big enough for ur make up or pencils. Holiday toiletries will fit or mayb just fill it with niknaks n have it look good on ur shelve or desk.
@ £10 including postage, I'd say its a perfect little treat or gift.
Comment if interested as not sure my messenger is working.

I'm loving these placements
I do hope the customer loves them too.

It's time consuming but u just don't notice cause ur having too much fun.

Look at what is coming.
Lovely crossbody satchels.
This is the first of 4 very individual satchels.
Made from skirts, jeans n fabric destined for the bin, with a tiny splash of new.
Features front pocket, small side pockets and 2 slip pockets within the interior.
I do think this satchel is rather smart looking.
Watch this space.

Fabric is fabric at the end of the day.
Want a memory bag or just want ur old favourite quilt cover, shirt or skirt made into something, just give me a shout.

14/10/2022

A selection of over embellished creations but hey 🤷‍♀️ we gotta start somewhere.
Bare with me they will b listed over time.
I prefer to sew rather than list but I will endeavour to do my best.

Not for sale
I also do custom orders.
These r made to the customers requirements.
Pictured below, baby changing bag with monster inc theme.
Making the pockets look like doors and using coloured snaps to highlight a working door.
Absolutely enjoyed making this one.
These take time as ideas r tried before making the real one, but definitely worth the time n money.

This is in fact just one bag. Whilst playing with the ideas of these bags I over embellished and embellished both sides, but hey wot a bonus lol. Made from mixed fabrics, saved from the bin. Big enough for pencils or make up n mayb even travel toiletries. There is some faults with the bag that many wouldn't notice so I'm not gonna point them out, however as this was a trial make the cost will reflect this.
You can own this bag for just £8.50 plus £1.50. I add the postage to cover signed for delivery, can't get lost that way.
PayPal is always goods n services.
Comment, message n please share my page.
