Unique scrappy tote bag
Buttons and Stars£35.00
Since retiring (from infant teaching) and moving to beautiful Ilfracombe in 2010, I've enjoyed collecting and sourcing pre-owned and vintage textiles, buttons and trimmings. I love to lay out a selection of scraps, and decide how to give them new life. I use machine and hand sewing, applique and embroidery to construct new pieces from old.
I had a small shop when we moved, but through various moves, market stalls and fairs, I am now part of a very successful shop in Ilfracombe, run by a collective of around 15 talented makers. (www.fortythreeshop.com) I love to print, stitch, pot and collage, motivated and inspired by colour, texture and pattern.
This shop is an outlet for my bags and storage items, because that's the thing I come back to again and again - making something glorious and useful from pieces which may have been forgotten, but which still have a beauty and a purpose.
