Booties and jackets

I will soon be introduced to some cool twins with a Malaysian dad, and both parents who are very fond of bright colours. I have found the perfect purpose for the traditional fabrics my dad bought me back from Malaysia.
The Malaysian prints often come with two distinct colour ways on each print, so the linings are made of the complimentary softer colours here.

I have a few different shapes for booties to test out but please let me know if you would like a pair commissioned - they are relatively stress-free to make and could be done in most fabrics.


Other than these I made a dog jacket for a friends' puppy last year which she has finally grown into. She is a beautiful, as you can see.  Fleece lined with floral lining, if I remember rightly - so easily washable.

Lottie and Mike's Blanket

Made as a wedding present for my oldest friend and her husband to keep warm over the winter. Including newly acquired vintage embroidered and appliqué tablecloths, which add a sense of time and tradition to this as a wedding gift. To keep it personal to them there are squares from a t-shirt that Lottie had bought for Mike when they first met.

Backed with dusty blue lightweight woven cotton bedspread (machine washable).
