For centuries women have used cloth as a tool of comfort and as an expression of beauty within their homes. Creating cloth for warmth, cloth for shelter, our female predecessors embellished these linens with hand stitch using laborious and time consuming techniques thereby enhancing the functional beauty of objects which enveloped and protected their families. Inspired by these women I hope my creations pay tribute to and recognise the devotion expressed in cloth by our female ancestors .

Fabric beads

 



I've been wrapping up loose ends with this design collection as the wrapping cloth is ready to be finished.

It seems I have 6 unfinished fabric beads!

So, a quick 'how to'.

So pretty! I love the simplicity of the little bits of stitching on the puffs.

Wrapping up loose ends sounds a very orgnaised thing to do!
