New Product Range – Felt Buttons

Upcycling is the new old and what better way to breath new life into your favourite cardy or jacket than by jazzing it up with one of our new products – felt buttons. Buttons are a perfect way to add interest to an existing product. A great way of making a personal statement, a bespoke and designer look for a fraction of the cost. Our felt buttons fall into two types; the felt swirl buttons are made from felt beads which have been secured onto a silver coloured metal button back or the felt covered buttons which are pieces of decorated felt cut and shaped over a “covered button”. Either can be easily sewn onto an item of your choice. They also make super stocking fillers!

All the fun of the layer!

Whilst Nic has been reviving her love of  screen printing, I’ve been trying some new layering techniques on a silk scarf. I have hand dyed some strips of silk chiffon and silk ponge and have nuno felted them onto the ends and middle of a  rose printed silk scarf to produce ruffles and layers for extra length. No doubt layering is going to feature in our next collection too! Photos to follow.

I love silk screen printing!

I recently had the oppotunity to do some silk screen printing at a workshop I have been attending. It’s great to have the chance to revisit skills I haven’t used in a while. I was surprised how quickly I slotted back in to the old technique and how it seemed second nature to me. I was really thrilled with my results and although the stencil cutting takes a long time, printing is really quick. I love the instant results it gives. It’s given me renewed enthusiasm to experiment with print and do more; perhaps the next scarf collection could included printed textiles too…………………………….
