My parents’ old peg bag has seen better days; the handle was too long and the bag itself too deep so I made them a new one from my 2CV fabric.
Luckily I had a length of cream canvas tape stashed in my sewing kit which matched the canvas 2CV fabric perfectly, so I used it as a handle and to bind the edge.
A super quick and simple craft project that’s made hanging the laundry out a little bit more fun.
My parents are big tea fans so their tea cosy (left) has taken a bit of a battering over the years.
I decided to spruce it up with a layer of my 2CV fabric (below).
And here’s the revamped tea cosy, resplendent with its little cars!
Huge thanks to all those lovely people who have responded so enthusiastically to my designs for fabrics.
My exhibitionist side has enjoyed swanning about in exclusive patterns but since spring is coming it’s time to share them…with the world!
I’ve spent many, many happy hours developing my designs for fabrics and have tested them all to make sure that the patterns repeat seamlessly, that the colours are reproduced beautifully and that the material itself is comfy in terms of weight, drape and care.
All my fabrics are digitally printed to order in the UK.
So! Here’s how it works:
Immediately below are the designs that I’ve selected for light cotton fabric; ideal for making summer weight clothes, pillow cases, appliqué and quilting.
And below are the designs that I’ve selected for (dry clean only) cotton drill fabric; ideal for making cushions, curtains and for other upholstery projects.
…since I’m not a professional seamstress I’ve decided against making and selling finished garments but if you’re in the Vejer area I can put you in touch with a highly skilled dressmaking friend of mine if you need help with the sewing part – that way you’ll be one step closer to getting the made to measure garment of your dreams!
Please feel free to contact me with any questions!
Here’s an update of the 2CV pattern I made earlier in the year, it’s inspired by classic Citroën colour combinations
