A Bird in the Hand....

Girls!

I had a bit of a girlie session last week and made this for a NOTHS customer.

 

Then I sold this:

  

 Just one left here

..and a buttercup yellow flower

 

All very sugar and spice!

Oh and these.....

 

Twins!

Tee Time!

Only 3 of each ever made! 1 is now in Amsterdam, the other in London....the rest are in my shop


Taken in the colourful bright home that is Moozle Land!

Better Late......

My part in the Elsie Marley kid's clothes week was low on makes due to our weekend break to Amsterdam.
I did manage to make these before I went and just put the elastic in this morning.
Recycled from an old skirt, which was a bit of a sack on me, but had a nice rippled print detail.
So I matched it up with some of me old pebble print!

I also got the Tees printed, one for Stanley and one for Dolly. Their reunion in Amsterdam at the fabulous residence of Moozlehome was one to be remembered! Had a glorious few days, cycling around and catching up. More to come on that when I get a minute.

I'll have a limited run of these in my Etsy shop soon, as I printed a few extras.

New Tops for My Boy

I've got a bad cold at the minute, so I'm staying in and feeling sorry for myself. Just going through some of my photos and thought I'd put these up as I never got round to posting them.
First top is using my shapes and things fabric, bonded and sewn to an American Apparel Tee. Second was a bit of recycling from an old top I love but has got too small and mucky. So I chopped it up and added a few shapes onto another plain tee. All happily received by Stanley!
BTW: The dogs in the blue top picture are a painting by my friend Dennis.

Christmas Project in the Making!

I blogged this a while ago and am now giving it an airing!
A little review of some playtime......
I had a great morning during the summer hols with Stanley and his little friend Elodie. We were doing a play day swap so that both mums could catch up on some work.
For my turn, I offered to do a tee shirt printing workshop with Elodie and she was a top rate student!
First we did some drawings together, then I photocopied them and we cut them out. Next was laying them on the tee and finally a big pull of the screen with a little help from me and voila! I was so pleased with the outcome and the big wow that followed after we lifted up the screen. Even Stanley had a pull on it, with not a smudge in sight.
It was hard to leave it drying in the studio while we went home for more fun but it was safely delivered the next day, ironed and ready to wear. I even got her mum to model the bag I made for her. Both gorgeous but shy girls so they've been dutifully cropped!Since it all went so well, I've decided to do a mini bag printing workshop leading up to Christmas. Mums / Dads / carers / friends are in charge of organising drawings by their little ones, with a view to posting / dropping / emailing them off to me. I then turn them into a printed bag for Christmas, hopefully stuffed with goodies, I'm not offering that part though! All for the small sum of fifteen pounds! (plus postage) I may do an impromptu print session at some point but the logistics and legalities of having kids in my studio is a bit of a problem
Tee shirts are too complicated as children tend to come in all shapes and sizes, so I'm sticking with bags.
Anyone interested please get in touch. I think it will be a fun project and a nice surprise at Christmas for all! I'll be helping kids along and getting them started at our Open Studio Weekend, now set for the 28/29th November.
There will be more postings about this on the run up to the weekend I'm sure.
I must be mad!
Adding to this.... the results of Stanley's nursery print workshop to follow soon.

Saturday Dance Class

Stanley goes to a dance class every Saturday morning at Moving East, with the lovely Paloma. We're building up to the Easter break, with a grand finale, based on the children's book 'Room On The Broom'. It's a beautiful big open space so I thought I'd try and take some photos of Stanley in his new top I made with my printed patches. Needless to stay, he wouldn't keep still for very long and our rehearsal as the witch was a bit fraught! But we all had fun and I got some good action shots of the whole group as a nice souvenir!Final image ready for the Shop
