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.

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.

Badges

https://www.etsy.com/listing/175723298/pretty-vintage-floral-fabric-badges?ref=shop_home_active_3

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.
