Handmade Market Tomorrow!

Lots of stock all ready to go, including fabrics...they arrived in the nick of time!
Please come along if you can, Stockport market place is a lovely vibrant part of the town, with lots of cafes and pubs when your feet get tired.
The Handmade and Producers market will be open tomorrow 19th August from 11-4 

10% of all my sales tomorrow will be donated to SANDs in memory of our beautiful daughter Florence Violet.

Balancing work and play

Preparing for the Handmade Market and also entertaining five children over the summer holidays is quite a balancing act, and one I'm not entirely sure I'm balancing all that well.
Only two more days before the Market, and I'm getting quite excited. The ready made stock is piling up nicely.




I'm afraid my fabrics may not arrive in time for this month's market, which is a shame, never give up hope though!

Special Occasion Gowns

I adore antique baby gowns, as any of my friends unfortunate enough to go vintage shopping with me will tell you. I love the feel of the fine cotton, and often have to restrain myself from buying every one I see, though maybe one day I could just collect them and start up a little museum....
Inspired by antique baby gowns, I've designed these simple, but I hope you'll agree beautiful gowns for new born babies.
Each one is made using Flossie's Garden fabrics, mostly fine cotton lawn, (which I think has now been replaced by Spoonflower with cotton voile).
 
 


 




I have also added some short tunics, which could be teamed with soft woollen footed leggings and cardigan, or if you are lucky enough to live in a warm climate little cotton bloomers.
 
 
 


All of these, and more will be on display and for sale at the Handmade Market in Stockport on 19th August. Please come along.
 

Play Quilt

I have finally made up my original "cheater" quilt. I'm really rather pleased with it, and plan to take it to the Handmade Market on 19th, where it will dress my table, but also be for sale at a special "sample" price of £30.




The quilt top is Spoonflower's Quilting cotton, the reverse is a delightful pastel dotty polycotton. There is a lightweight polyester fleece padding, and cotton binding.
Perfect for tummy time for any baby.
This quilt top is in the original colourway, no longer available and not to be repeated. A lovely faded pastel colourway, perfect for any vintage inspired nursey.
10% of the sale price will be donated to SANDs in memory of my daughter Florence Violet.

And if you'd like to have a go at making your own "cheater" quilt, take a look at the new colourway:

Still Here!

Woah, it's been a while!
I didn't intend to take such a long break from here, life sort of took over. I've been so very busy with other projects, including The Sling School, and setting up as a registered childminder. My days are full of busy toddlers, and working with parents and their babies. That hasn't left much room for designing and sewing.
Despite all that though, I'm back, and breaking myself in gently (ha!), I'll be at the Stockport Handmade and Producers Market on 19th August.

I'll have dresses, and dungies, and trousers, and bootees, and even some of my fabrics on sale including the Flossie's Pinafore cut and sew kit.
I hope all my local readers will pop along and stop me looking like a billy no mates on the day.

Clearing out my Etsy store ready for new stock, and all pinafores are now reduced to clear. Some, like this one are half price with free shipping in the UK, so grab a bargain while they are there!
