This will be the next event that I'll be at, so if you're in the Bolton area come and visit.

The countdown to Halloween and Christmas has begun and we will be back at the Mercure Bolton Georgian House Hotel on Sunday 13th September. A great time to get your shopping underway and pick up some gifts and decorations

This purple purse is taking shape. I've just stitched on the satin ribbon edging alongside the liberty strawberry thief fabric detail and created the zip using a gold zip head on the purple zip teeth. Now it's deciding on a charm to compliment the design before I stitch it all together.

Bank holiday and I'm working on new purses. I sold so many purses on Saturday which is great, but that now means I need more products for my next stall. This small piece of repurposed purple velvet fabric is perfect for the autumn season 💜

I'd like to give a big "THANK YOU" to everyone who visited my stall inside Darwen market yesterday. Whether you came along just to chat or buy one of my unique products, it was much appreciated 💚 The positivity I receive gives me the drive to keep creating my lovely products from repurposed and vintage fabrics.
The good news is due to the positive response from all of you I am considering coming back to Darwen market and doing another pop up stall before Christmas. I will post a date as soon as this is arranged. I will also have a stall at St Peter's Church Christmas fair in Darwen town centre on Saturday 21st November, so you can also catch me there!
Thank you again for all your support 🙏🏼

Hoping for a good day 🙏🏼
