Yay! - Fabric Covered Buttons! These buttons have a shank backing which means there are no sewing holes on the top of the button, but a metal loop on the back. This allows the button to sit atop your fabric. In staying true to our mission of creating...
A few years ago Karen released her clever pattern, Modern Japanese Rice Pouch. A modern take on the Japanese Komebukuro, a traditional pouch used in Japan to carry rice offerings to the temple during religious ceremonies, or to hold gifts destined for a close friend or relative. Komebukuro bags were hand...
Introducing Verbena! A two color panel print, inspired by the hardy perennial Verbena Bonariensis and my current obsession with making my own clothes. I'm fascinated by how print affects a garment.

The Print of the Month for February is this Red-Bellied Woodpecker. We're seeing loads of these guys in our front garden this time of year. We have two suet feeders in the chaste tree and if I leave the curtain open, I can usually sneak up on them feeding throughout...
Last July, I started a new series for the remainder of the year, where I designed a monthly tea towel. The goal was to illustrate what makes each month special to me and to start a monthly practice. This year, I'm changing up the series a bit, and doing my...
