Gifts Given and Received

My 'arty' friends and I like to hand make something as a gift for Christmas.

So I had my drawings printed onto linen fabric to make tea-towels. The edges were stitched.

These are photos of the actual fabric.

These are images of the design

These are the handmade gifts from my friends

I also made these fabric tissue pouches for other friends. Four of the fabrics are my designs.

Fabrics available at Spoonflower

2017 Tea Towel

My tea towel arrived today, a fat quarter of linen cotton canvas ultra.

Spoonflower are offering 2 for 1 fat quarters at the minute.

Badger Calendar 2016 Tea Towel

I had this tea towel printed at Print Me Pretty in the UK

The swatch on the left was from Spoonflower [US] and the other was from Print Me Pretty. Spoonflower's looks more vibrant on the basic cotton, I'm not sure if it would look the same printed on the linen.

The tea towel is available to purchase from either site, it comes as fabric so you have to hem it yourself.

New Calendar Design

My new calendar design for a tea towel. The elephants were a set of four mixed media and embroidered pictures which I altered for the calendar.

Fabric available from Spoonflower.

Easy Apron

I made an apron out of a tea towel and two metres of tape. Just cut off the two top corners, fold over the edge twice and stitch in place. Sew on some tape at the top to go around your neck and two at the sides to tie around you.

My butterfly tea towel was from All Tea Towels.

The picture below shows the two pieces I cut off the tea towel.
