About Abi Elston Designs

Abi Elston Designs

Beautifully sewn garments and accessories

Inspired by a bag of fabric remnants…..

I’ve always created and sewn garments and soft furnishings using not just new fabrics but also using scraps, upcycled, vintage, anything I can lay my hands on.
So after acquiring several bags of fabric remnants “that I couldn’t resist saying yes please to!” I decided it was time to get stuck in and start creating….
New and unique bags and accessories it seems to be but not solely limited to (a few lounge pants have snuck in there made from new fabrics!)
And I’m sure over time more ideas will appear as my love of mixing and matching patterns, textures and plains together will inspire me to create something new.

As there’s just me pattern cutting and sewing I try to make every item as perfect as possible. Drawing on my many years spent in the garment industry, I like to say “Made with love and care not mass produced!”

I have a husband, 2 grown son’s and a cat. And if I’m not in my attic workroom retreat you can usually find me lost in our small garden or going for walks/cycling around our beautiful Wirral peninsula.

Please feel free to contact me as I’m always happy to chat.
Thanks for looking.
