Flower motif with crochet key ring



These cost more than the bird or heart keyrings (see separate listings by scrolling down), as they take a good while longer to craft. I've tried to keep the cost as low as possible.


For this one, I've used Cath Kidston paisley fabric, matched with a pillar box red wool and a vintage button from my collection. If you wish to order one, please specify the fabrics/wool colour you prefer.

Fabulous French chicken fabric tote

This is made from another of my lovely French fabrics, a chicken print, matched with a vintage Sanderson and lined with a pretty red gingham. It's a beautiful quality fabric.

I've cut the pattern to include a different cockerel on each side, and the tote has an inside pocket.

The fabric really is lush.


It will comfortably hold a magazine or book, a purse, sunglasses... check the measurements -
Width: 27 cm
Depth: 32.5 cm
Length of straps:49 cm. It easily slips over the shoulder.

The bucket is stiffened with interfacing for stability.


They can be used with the top up or folded down.


I love these - they are unique - you really won't see them everywhere you go.

Union Jack Cushion with applique/yellow crochet flower brooch


A gorgeous Union Jack cushion. I currently have two of these available, each with a different brooch decoration, but fabulous as a pair. The main fabric is Cath Kidston, with a contrasting Cath Kidston forming the diagonal stripes and a Globaltex fabric forming the cross stripes.


The brooch is a flower fabric motif, adorned with a yellow crochet flower and vintage button from my collection. It sets the cushion off so well, I had to add it.


The cushion has a simple envelope back.

These are beautiful and would look unique in your home.


Approx 33 cm square. Complete with soft inner pad (not feather to keep the cost as low as possible).
GB £24.50 for the cushion and brooch including post and packing within the U.K.

French fabric fabric bucket family


I love making fabric buckets, and you'll find consquently a lot will be popping up in the shop, individually for the most part. However, this family really needs to stay together, I think, as it looks so pretty as a set.

I have fabric buckets dotted all over the house and they are incredibly useful. I use them for holding wool, ribbon, scraps of fabric, fabric quarters, notes and letters, and I even have one for bits and pieces in the bathroom.


Add a pot inside, and they look gorgeous with a plant or flowers inside.


These are made from a summer floral fabric I found in France last year. I haven't much left, so there won't be many of these around. They are lined with a complimentary good quality pink gingham. They are also interlined to stiffen them.

Sizes: please note these can only be approx, because it depends on the turn down. All measurements here are with the turn down as photographed. Diameters given are as measured across the base.

Large: 18 cm (height); 16 cm (diameter)
Medium: 13 cm (height); 12 cm (diameter)
Small: 10 cm (height); 11 cm (diameter)

THIS IS NOW SOLD. MANY THANKS.
