First up is Upsy Daisy Craft,  set up by Natalie, she has lived and worked in Nottingham since graduating from Lincoln University in 2004. Natalie has a little shed in the bottom of her garden where she designs and creates a range of cute and quirky ceramic jewllery, pots and tiles.

BIBF at the Roller Derby

This Saturday Georgie will be taking Bird In Borrowed Feathers off to the Roller Derby! We're having a little stall to show off our handmade goodies to all the Nottingham Roller Girls, fans and students.

The Roller Derby starts at 12.30 and is located in Clifton Campus (part of Nottingham Trent University).

It's Nice To Make

For a while I've (Hannah) been doing a lot of design work and not much making, which is a shame as I love to make and sew. Since Christmas I've been working on new illustrations to turn into cards, prints, jewellery and tote bags. Some of these have already been made and are for sale in the shop, but others I'm still working on.

Real Men Have Great Beards Card - Hannah Stevens

In the past few months, I've been working in the shop, squashed behind the counter, designing and making tote bags. This month, I moved all my stuff out and back into my little home studio.

We now have more space in the shop to work on other things! We recently bought a badge maker, which is great fun. I've also been making up some zip pouches from our vintage fabric collection. It feels really nice to be properly making and sewing again.

These zip pouches are all ready to be photographed and listed onto our Etsy shop, which if you haven't seen, you should! It's full of badges made from vintage fabric and old books, there are also a few vintage fabric fat quarters too, we'll be adding more soon though.

Vintage Aeroplane Model Badges - Available in our Etsy Shop!
