We Are Closed!

A great big thank you to everyone who has supported and shopped at our little shop since we opened last September!

We are now closed, but we have had a fantastic time running the shop and stocking a huge range of beautiful handmade products.

We are really excited about continuing our new venture along with Handmade Nottingham! Our Summer Market was a great success and we are now planning our next market which will be a Christmas Market later in the year.

We hope you can continue to support us as we make the move into our new venture. Please do pop over to our new Facebook Page and give it a quick like!

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.

The Shop In January

The shop is looking nice and full and bright at the moment. This year we are really concentrating on creating more of our own stock for the shop. At the moment we've started to make our own badges from vintage books and fabric. We're also looking at making some other bits, including vintage fabric scrap bags, bunting and pocket mirrors.

Why not come and visit us, we're located in the centre of Nottingham, just two minutes away from Old Market Square, there's even a car park around a minutes walk away!

Badges

You may have already seen but we bought ourselves, at Bird In Borrowed Feathers, a badge maker! We've been having far too much fun creating badges from our collection of vintage fabrics. At the weekend we visited our local car boot sale and picked up a great selection of vintage books, full of retro illustrations, diagrams and photos, which are perfect for turning into badges!

We've already listed a selection onto our Etsy shop and will be adding more in bigger sizes soon.

We do of course, have a growing selection of badges available in our bricks & mortar shop in Nottingham.
