If you want handmade gifts made from upcycled and recycled fabrics - you can find them here.
I love to work with other people's discarded items, and can give a second life to almost anything. I make children's items (clothing, soft toys), women's clothing and accessories, home goods (potholders, pillow covers) and hand embroidered items. Repurposing old garments is the thread (bad pun, sorry) that runs through all my work.
My shop's name comes from a quote from William Morris: "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful." I think that says it all.
