Vintage Patchwork Covered Hangers



Make a feature of your most special outfit whilst making sure it's properly cared for, by treating your glamorous frocks to a beautiful covered hanger. This is a hanger you will not want to lock away in your wardrobe!

The vintage fabrics are a covetable combination of French, German and of course, English and date as far back as 1930. There's a bit of pretty vintage embroidered linen added into the mix and a little strip of a modern polka dotty fabric to give it a fresh twist. A colourful satin ricrac edging, velvet bow and some divinely pretty vintage lace are the finishing touches.

Please choose your favourite colour:

Bright Pink
Pastel Pink
Lilac - SOLD, thank you.
Violet - SOLD, many thanks.




Each hanger is priced at £15 plus P&P; £2 in the UK, £3.50 overseas.

Patchwork Notebook Covers



Here I have used my most lovely, special and original vintage fabrics (mainly from the 1940s-'50s) combined with some vintage embroidered linen and crafted these "one of a kind" notebook covers. They are completely lined with white cotton. A hardbacked notebook is included and the clever bit is that the cover is entirely removable so that once you have finished writing in the last page of your book, you can slip it out and pop in another (standard stationers' A5 and A6 size).



A5 size notebook approximately: 8.5" H x 6"W x 0.5"D
A6 size notebook approximately: 6"H x 4.5"W x 0.5"D
(Sizes come up slightly larger once the cover is on.)


The patchwork extends all the way round the back.





They are priced at:
A5 size = £20.00 + P&P
A6 size = £16.00 + P&P


P&P A5 and A6 size:
UK (inland) = £1.75
Europe = £2.50
Rest of the World = £3.50




A5 size sold out, many thanks. One A6 size notebook remains available.

Vintage Fabric Wheat Sacks



These pretty and practical wheat sacks are crafted from entirely vintage fabrics, either floral cottons from the 1940's or vintage embroidered linen. Each sack is a beautiful fusion of 9 patchworked squares with a velvet hanging loop in one corner (in case you want to hang it on a wardrobe or door knob or from a bed post) with a vintage button to top it off. The reverse features a single panel of co-ordinating vintage fabric.

Gorgeous as the exterior is, the clever bit is the interior which is filled with beautifully fragrant lavender buds and organic wheat. You can simply pop your wheat sack in the microwave for one minute and it will heat up beautifully, releasing its wonderful fragrance. Place it on your aches and pains or pop it on your pillow for a night of sweet dreams. My cats are rather partial to mine!

Each sack measures approximately 6" square (excluding hanging loop).

£12.50 each. P&P included in the UK. £2.50 overseas P&P.








I have only one sack left. I can happily make more to order, please get in touch.

Christmas Stockings



Complete your festive fireplace and make sure Father Christmas has somewhere to leave your goodies on Christmas eve with a gorgeous stocking. I have used a vintage felted and hand dyed woollen blanket to make the body of the stocking. The top cuff (on the front side) features a lovely patchworked selection of vintage 1940s and vintage-inspired fabrics topped with some unusual Christmas themed buttons and trimmed with vintage ribbon. The toe also features one of the beautiful fabrics and there is a guiding star (to guide all those presents in!) on the front. Finally, there is a secure spotty hanging loop at the top.

Measures approximately 15" long (excluding loop) and 12" at widest point (heel to toe).

£30 each including P&P in the UK. Overseas P&P £3.




Please note: the middle stocking has been sold.

Vintage Lavender Sacks



Perfectly formed, dinky sacks filled with divinely fragrant lavender enclosed in beautiful vintage, and vintage inspired, fabrics and lace. Scent your drawers or your linen cupboard, put one next to you on the pillow to lull you to sleep. They also look gorgeous tied with pretty ribbon into little sets. Some are plain, some feature little messages such as "with love", "special mum", "special friend", "Happy Birthday", "thank you" and similar. They make a perfect gift for someone close, either on a special occasion or just to let them know how much they are appreciated, and great thank you gifts at a reasonable price. Best of all of course, they're an even better gift to yourself!


Each lovely sack measures approximately 5-6" square (some a little bigger, some a tad smaller depending on the vintage fabrics).
