Cushion range is coming soon...

From the past - Broekie Bags

I learnt to sew from my delightful cousin when I spent a week with him in Nieu Bethesda back in July 2010.  I'd just come back from working at a Lodge in Northern Mozambique and was feeling rather shell shocked at being back in civilisation so headed for a small town fast.

Anyway... from this came the Broekie bags.  I love Schweschwe with a huge passion and have metres of the stuff in my cupboard.  Combined with the lace and felt shapes I think it all just works very well together.

These were also one of the first products I tried to sell in various shops but no one would take them... which I was sad about but I kept making them and selling them via friends and family.

I have found that Fabric City on Sir Lowry Road behind the Castle in Cape Town carries the widest selection.

The new tea towels - new colours and fabric

Looked at printed samples today over at Fittees of the new colours - blue, gold (has a nice sparkle) and orange as before and now Cerise red too.  Really like the new fabric I am using now from Hemporium  - 60% cotton / 40% hemp blend in natural with this nice slub in it.  Same designs as before  - Cup of Tea and Wink for fun etc

Tea towels and a plate

Found these 2 rather great retro Swedish tea towels in Oasis last year and bought the plate in a junk shop.  The Alfred Meakin Design I have never seen before and the shape is rather unique too.
