Your fabrics: Repurposed, with love…
One of my favourite things to do is to to create a truly unique gift for that special someone. This can be done using fabric that is special to you or a particular person, so, for example, if you have a shirt, pair of jeans, a blanket or comforter that has a special meaning, and you can send it to me, I can incorporate these items into the finished product. It could be for your son or daughter who is off to university or if you live in a different country to your family or friends, then it’s nice to think that they may be far in distance but a piece of you is still with them. These also make lovely keepsake gifts for those who have lost a loved one. I can make bags out of dad’s old shirt and a pair of mum’s jeans, or a book pillow out of a favourite blanket or duvet cover.
Below are a few things I have made in the past out of precious fabric that now has a special place in that person’s life. Please message me on the link below for more details or to discuss options.
Repurposed Fabric
My fabrics are predominately sourced from charity shops, gifted or preowned garments. Sometimes I find some fabric and I have no idea what it will be used for, and it may sit in my stash for weeks or months until I suddenly realise that it will be perfect for a particular project. I like the challenge of being able to find that perfect match of outer and lining fabrics, and coordinate the colours and designs, I enjoy interior design and try to carry that through with my sewing projects, giving a certain individual flair to each piece I create.
I have a wardrobe full of beautiful fabric just waiting for the perfect item. Below is a photo of my current wardrobe fabric stash, but bear in mind this changes on a daily basis. Please just ask if you see a favourite, want a closer look at a fabric, or are looking for a particular colour or pattern. If none of my current fabrics are to your taste, tell me your favourite colours, design e.g. checked, stripes, botanical or abstract and fabric e.g. linen, denim, cotton, corduroy, and I will endeavour to source it for you. Alternatively, just tell me if it’s a bag, cushion, book pillow or maybe something I haven’t even thought of yet, and leave it up to me….
