Everything I make is of the highest quality and with great attention to detail. My pink and green floral heart keepsake has a little hand embroidered tag saying Mum - fastened to the button by cord so it can be displayed on the heart, or used separately as a gift tag. Ideal for a birthday or Mothers Day, this would also be a beautiful gift to send to a new mum. Sample - cut from an offcut of crazy patchwork fabric made by me for another project, this lovely heart is decorated with hand embroidery and a vintage button. Letterbox gift - your handcrafted heart will be wrapped in tissue and popped into a little cardboard box that fits through standard letterboxes. I can post direct - just leave the name and address in the options box. (UK addresses only.) You can also add a little message that I will print out and add to the box. Size - 4 inches (10 cm) without loop. The front of the heart is hand cut from a patchwork fabric I created from floral and co-ordinating cotton prints in pinks and greens, and quilted in a basket weave effect. It is embroidered in green and pilk threads, and has a vintage pink button and white hanging ribbon. It is is backed with cerise felt and blanket stitched all the way round. Mum is hand embroidered onto double layered 100% wool felt in pink and white, and fastens to the button with a cord. It can also be removed completely to use as a gift tag.

Blank inside, my Muted Metallic Blue greetings cards are ideal for any occasion - including special birthdays. Calm in colour and style, they are also suitable for professional occasions, bereavements or as a thinking of you card. Each card is unique, using different fabrics and stitches (the photos show some examples - your card will be selected at random). Zero waste - these cards have been made from curtain sample books. Used by interior designers and curtain makers, these books are discarded at the end of the product line - often ending up in landfill unless rescued. I carefully dismantle them and cut out the usable material for my upcycled makes, but I wanted to find a way of also using the fabric at the edges which have card glued to the back. So I created my own patchwork collage with strips of the card-backed fabric placed together side by side on to cotton calico and the edges overstitched with decorative machine embroidery - techniques borrowed from foundation piecing and raw edge applique. The collage was then sliced into squares and edged with blanket stitch to catch the stray threads, before being straight stitched to the card. The card is premium white cardstock, and come with a matching white envelope.

Combining a beautiful vintage style embroidered linen textile with pure wool tweed, and backed with silky velvet, it is very tactile - you will want to stroke and smooth it. An ideal gift for book lovers, it is easy to post and great as stocking filler. Sale item Zero waste - all the textiles are reclaimed or offcuts. Both the cream embroidered front and the aqua green floral velvet back are fabrics I reclaimed from a curtain sample book destined for landfill, and the soft green wool layer is surplus tweed from a tailoring business. The embroidered front has been machined to wool fabric using blanket stitch to catch stray fibres. After straight stitching these layers to the green velvet backing, I frayed the wool to give even more texture. The curtain sample fabrics have a backing of paper (the original edge of the curtain sample), giving the bookmark a little extra rigidity. Unique gift - there is only enough fabric to make a small number of bookmarks from each sample, and each one has different embroidered details and colour accents. See my other listings.

The toy bags are made from quality quilting cotton in different prints, fully lined and have short cotton drawstring cords for easy access. I have shown the mat and bags with little toy figures (approx 2-3 inches tall) as an illustration, but they are perfect for use with any small play toys.

A gorgeous gift or a beautiful flower to brighten up your day, my hand embroided rose picture was inspired by a vintage 1930s ink transfer paper. Hand stitched by me in DMC embroidery threads on a linen background, I chose a mix of traditional stitches to bring this beautiful flower to life. Lovely little decor piece for summer, and an ideal gift for a gardener or lover of traditional flowers. I can post this picture on your behalf - see my direct shipping upgrade listing. The rose petals are embroidered in a combination of flat and raised satin stitch, in three different tones of red that just glow. The leaves are in a variagated thread using fly stitch, and the thorny stem is backstiched. The finished picture has been stretched and laced over an acid free board with a layer of wadding, and backed with wool felt. Unframed - just the right size to fit through a letterbox, and can be displayed just as it is propped on a shelf or displayed on a little easel. Or you can pop it in a frame yourself - just be sure to choose one that is deep enough to accomodate the thickness of the picture (0.5cm).

Backed with hand fringed green tweed wool, this card is ideal for birthdays as well as many other special occasions. Blank inside for your message you could also use this lovely card to send a hand written note - or frame it as a beautiful little picture. The embroidered textile is from a curtain sample book that I rescued and stopped from going to landfill. The fabric is beautiful - with intricate embroidery in silky threads in reds, orange and blue on a dark cream linen mix background with a pronounced weave. I used most of the sample piece to make one of my vintage style Christmas Stockings, but I had enough offcuts to make just a few cards. The green wool background is also salvaged - it's factory waste from a tailoring busness. I machined sewed the botanical textile to the wool tweed using blanket stitch to catch stray fibres, with cotton quilt wadding sandwiched between them to give a more luxurious padding. I then straight stitched all the layers to the card, and hand frayed the wool to add even more texture. The card is premium white cardstock, and come with a matching white envelope.

Ideal craft bag for small projects or for storing threads or haberdashery, it can also be used for toiletries or stationary.

It is also slightly different to the one in the photo - the zip is blue not grey-green, and the model/text printed fabric is aligned differently. Beautiful gift for a crafty friend, or buy one for your own stitching projects. I use a similar one to take embroidery projects in car or train journeys - it fits a 5 inch hoop comfortably. Eco friendly as well as beautiful. Keeping with the sewing theme, the bag is backed with tweed wool fabric offcuts from the tailoring trade. The lining is an offcut of quilting cotton from a quilt project, and the zip is vintage deadstock. It is lightly padded for structure, and curved at the bottom. Note - pattern placement and zip colour may vary. Size approx: 20cm wide x 17cm high. 100% cotton front and lining, British wool backing, polyester interfacing and zip.

Worked with just 2 strands of thread and a very fine needle, the effect is delicate and I think captures the beauty of one of our native flowers beautifully. A unique piece of textile art, Wild Rose would make a lovely gift for Mum, sister or a friend.... or just treat yourself. Inspired by a vintage 1930s ink transfer motif - a simple outline shape that allowes me to interpret the flower using my own choice of embroidery stitches and techniques. I chose a mix of flat and raised stitches to create contrast and texture. Long and short stitch paints the rose petals in subtle colours, and the edges and rosebud in padded satin stitch. A pop of golden yellow emphasises the bold stamens tipped with pollen that is typical of our wild roses. The leaves are stacked flystitch in a variagted thread, and the stems are backstitched and partly couched. Entierly hand sewn in cotton embroidery threads on an Irish linen fabric background and mounted in a quality beechwood hoop frame (brand Elbesee). I used the traditional gathering and lacing method for extra secureness, backing the picture with a circle of wool felt neatly hand embroidered into place with blanket stitch. Easily propped into a shelf, the hoop art also comes with a length of ribbon for hanging.

Perfect decor for a child's bedroom, but whimsical enough for grow ups too. I have one facing left and one facing right - please choose the direction you want your dragon to face in the options. Based on my own hand drawn design, I hand cut the little dragon from pure wool felt in red, and hand stitch him to the orange-pink background fabric with blanket stitches all the way round the outline. Back stitches define his wing webbing, and chain stitches highlight his claws and horns. Finally, his flames are created by rows of chain stitch in glowing red, orange and yellow. I use a little bit of bamboo wadding to give a subtle quilted look. The finished textile art is then mounted in a wooden hoop, and completed at the back with a circle of wool felt carefully hand stiched all the way round in blanket stitch - so it is as neat as the front. A simple white ribbon loop allows the textile art to be easily hung on a wall, or you can prop your picture on a shelf. Please display out of reach of young children.

The fabric is beautiful - with intricate embroidery in silky threads in oranges, pink and green on a dark cream linen mix background with a pronounced weave. I used most of the sample piece to make one of my vintage style Christmas Stockings, but I had enough offcuts to make just a few cards. The green wool background is also salvaged - it's factory waste from a tailoring busness. I machined sewed the floral textile to the wool tweed using blanket stitch to catch stray fibres, with cotton quilt wadding sandwiched between them to give a more luxurious padding. I then straight stitched all the layers to the card, and hand frayed the wool to give even more texture. The card is premium white cardstock, and come with a matching white envelope.

A unique piece of art for your own home, or a gorgeous gift for mum or a favourite aunt. I can post on your behalf or you can add my gift wrap service (see the first listing on my shop page. Hand stitched by me in cotton embroidery threads on an Irish linen fabric background and mounted in a quality beechwood hoop frame, the design is based on a 1930s ink transfer - simple line drawings intended for the embroiderer to interpret with their own choice of thread, colours and stitches. I combined three different drawings to create a sampler piece that shows off different techniques including thread painting and stumpwork (raised stitches). For the bird I used "long and short" stitch in blended colours to paint his head and body, and padded satin stitch to add depth to his wings. The red flowers include curved bullion knots with pistil stitches (elongated french knots), and the tassel flowers are a modern interpretaion of turkey stitch. I have tightly secured the fabric into the hoop (brand Elbesee) using traditional gathering and lacing. It is backed with a circle of wool felt, neatly hand embroidered into place with blanket stitch. Easily propped into a shelf, the hoop art also comes with a length of ribbon for hanging.

Soft and tactile, it combines a beautiful crewel style embroidered textile with layers of pure wool twill and wool felt.

Sale item This bookmark is slightly bigger than the others I make, so ideal for larger books. The fuzziness of the wool backing helps keep it in place. Zero waste - all the textiles are reclaimed or offcuts. I reclaimed the cream embroidered fabric from a curtain sample book destined for landfill - I used most of the piece for one of my Luxury Christmas Stockings, but had enough left over for a few bookmarks. The soft blue wool layer is surplus from making medieval re-enactment garments, and the backing is a sand coloured wool felt offcut from making my felt playmats. The floral themed fabric has been machined to wool fabric using blanket stitch to catch stray fibres. After straight stitching these layers to the felt backing, I frayed the wool to give even more texture.

Lovely spring decor for your own home, or an easily post-able gift that's perfect for birthdays or a housewarming gift. The design is based on a 1930s ink transfer for a daisy basket - simple line drawings intended for the embroiderer to interpret with their own choice of thread, colours and stitches. I used 2-3 strands of embroidery floss in light colours for a spring posy, and chose traditional and modern stumpwork stitches to create a subtle 3-D textured effect. These include a woven technique for the basket, and raised herringbone for the little leaves. The daisies are sewn with multiple loops of lazy daisy stitch, with french knots or free-form twisted loops for the centre of the flowers. The hoop is smooth beech wood (the brand is Elbesee), and I have tightly secured the fabric using traditional gathering and lacing at the back. It is backed with a wool felt circle, neatly hand embroidered into place with blanket stitch. Easily propped into a shelf, the hoop art also comes with a length of ribbon for hanging.

There's a rich variety of textures, from the roughness of the vintage wool blanket to the silky shine of the velvet ribbon. Stuffed full of ittle pieces of vintage or salvaged fabrics and embellishments that can be snipped and sewn to a denim foundation piece, these kits are a great introduction to slow sewing and textile art, and I think they make great gifts for teenagers. Available as two sizes, each box includes: - a stitch guide and introduction to slow stitching - foundation piece cut from vintage blue denim jeans - snippets of vintage Welsh wool blankets, lace collars and crocheted doileys - offcuts of cotton and linen prints in florals and stripes - salvaged ribbons, lace and upholstery braids - pre-loved buttons (may vary from photos) - lengths of hand dyed linen yarn, tapestry and knitting wool - embroidery threads in co-ordinating colours - reel or bobbin of sewing thread - sewing needle and pins, secured in a scrap of antique Welsh quilt The larger box also has a second foundation piece in a different shade of blue denim, and even more trims and embellishments not shown in the photos.

Zero waste - these carmine red and muted gold tags use recycled and salvaged textiles, and come with a smaller detachable card tags that can be replaced - so you can reuse them many times. Perfect for adding a little luxury trim to a special gift at Christmas or any time of the year. Each tag is unique, having a different offcut from the Chalfont collection by iLiv, that I used to make Christmas stockings. The fabrics are beautifully textured, including embossed scrolls, jaquard weave florals and flocked velvet in mixed fabrics. Rectangles of these textiles - cut from the sample book edges with paper backing - have been stitched to card luggage tags, that I covered with raw silk fabric scraps salvaged from material I used to make my own wedding dress. I stitched on narrow vintage lace or reclaimed upholstery braid as an accent, and they each have a vintage button from my old button box in pealised tones. Some buttons may be mother of pearl - please add a note if you prefer a vegan alternative (vintage plastic). Set of 3. Each tag measures 12 by 6 cm (approx 4.5 by 2.5 inches), with cotton strings for tying to your gift. I have similar sets in different fabrics and colours - see my gift tag section.

A lovely gift for tiger lovers of all ages, the soft lines and playful features of the young cub means it is also perfect for decorating a nursery, child's bedroom or playroom. My own hand drawn design - originally created for my Tiger Tea party quilt - the cub was hand cut from pure wool felt in orange colour and embroidered by hand to a quilting cotton background using chain stitch and backstitch to create his lovely black and white stripey markings. The picture was then mounted in a wooden hoop, and finished with a circle of dark orange wool felt, carefully hand stiched using blanket stitch - so the back is as neat as the front. A simple white ribbon loop allows the textile art to be easily hung on a wall, or you can prop your picture on a shelf. Please display out of reach of young children. Size - the hoop is 6 inches across, the hanging loop is another 3 inches. Care - dust with a dry cloth or brush TheOldButton Sat, 11 Jul 2026 17:42:30 +0000 https://folksy.com/items/8371333 https://folksy.com/items/8371333 Embroidered picture hoop art - Tiger in the meadow nursery decoration One of my felt bookmarks with pirates on the open seas would make a great gift for a child who loves adventure stories. Soft, pliable and strong - these bookmarks won't be damaged by bending, and the fuzzy wool backing means they will stay in place in the book. My zero-waste, sustainable approach to crafting means I try to use every piece of fabric left from cutting out my large makes. Your bookmark will feature part of a scene carefully cut from the fabric you choose, which is securely machined to a black pure wool felt backing. Please see options for available stock TheOldButton Sat, 11 Jul 2026 17:42:30 +0000 https://folksy.com/items/8493467 https://folksy.com/items/8493467 Pirate themed Bookmark for child - Pirate Ships, Treasure Map or Pirate sayings Beautiful bookmark that has eco-credentials as well as good looks. Combining a beautiful vintage style embroidered linen textile with pure wool tweed, and backed with silky velvet, it is very tactile - you will want to stroke and smooth it. An ideal gift for book lovers, it is easy to post. Sale item Zero waste - all the textiles are reclaimed or offcuts. Both the embroidered flower front and the green velvet back are fabrics I reclaimed from a curtain sample book destined for landfill, and the soft green wool layer is surplus tweed from a tailoring business. The embroidered front has been machined to wool fabric using blanket stitch to catch stray fibres. After straight stitching these layers to the green velvet backing, I frayed the wool to give even more texture. The curtain sample fabrics have a backing of paper (the original edge of the curtain sample), giving the bookmark a little extra rigidity. Unique gift - there is only enough fabric to make a small number of bookmarks from each sample, and each one has different embroidered details and colour accents. See my other listings.

Eco friendly as well as beautiful. Keeping with the fashion theme, the bag is backed with tweed wool fabric offcuts from the tailoring trade. The lining is an offcut of quilting cotton from a quilt project, and the zip is vintage deadstock. It is lightly padded for structure, and curved at the bottom. Note - pattern placement and zip colour may vary. Size approx: 20cm wide x 17cm high. 100% cotton front and lining, British wool backing, polyester interfacing and zip.
