  • Spent a week in St Ives, found some time to embroider some sea treasure.

  • Anyone going to @thefestivalofquilts this year? I’ll be there Sat 1 Aug 😁
    I’ve made some fabric stamps for the fabric stamp swap organised by @sarahashfordstudio because I love this idea so much.
    Do come find me if you’re going too and you want one!

  • Found their place inbetween

    Woven using recycled tshirts, fabric selvedges and scraps.

    Happy non binary people’s day!

  • This is my second year growing flax for making linen. Last year I grew enough flax to make a linen belt, and the whole project was so satisfying I wanted to repeat it again this year.

    Linen is my favourite fabric to work with and has such a rich history going back thousands of years, and I love repeating the process and following what our ancestors would have done, just in my back garden.

    I haven’t weighed my harvest yet but I don’t think my yield will be as high as last year. Whether that’s because of the heatwaves we have been experiencing this year or something else I don’t know.

    Happy Sunday folks, and I hope you are all finding ways to stay cool xxx
