We've been very busy during the last few weeks making bags and cushions to add to our Man Made range and thought we'd share with you some of the latest additions to the website. As you can see from the colourful 'Sophia' bag above, it isn't just pretty country florals that are transformed!
These cushions were made from the prettiest 1930s Sanderson prints - I can't decide whether I like the painterly colours of the chrysanthemums...
...or the delicate colours of the hyacinths.
Then there's this beautiful 1950s French carnations fabric; wow!
This harlequin patchwork bag is a favourite of mine, all of those beautiful 1950s rosy blooms brought together are a real treat!
Whilst we're on the subject of colour and vintage fabrics - I can thoroughly recommend a visit to the website of Squint Limited - sit back and enjoy the show!!
I'm off to rummage through some more vintage fabrics for our next batch of handmade treasures! Enjoy the rest of your week!
Beautiful bags and cushions, they really look like spring, even though winter has come back for a few days. Some minutes ago it was snowing, but now it is sunshine again.
ReplyDeleteI have a pillow fetish and I absolutely love those pillows, wish I could reach in and grab one. Wink!!

LeAnn :)
Well done Mike - it looks as if you have a good production line going now. Who chooses the fabrics I wonder!
ReplyDeleteMike really is talented isn't he? I'm going to lead my husband to the sewing machine and show him how to thread the needle....

Wonderful changes for the spring. By the way, spring is totally absent at the moment in Holland. Lots of wind and rain, and quite cold.
I so Love all your new pillows, and specially the cushion that were made from the prettiest 1930s Sanderson prints. What a lovely colour combinations! It shows that flowers has very much a huge influence on your life. Can`t be unhappy with these surroundings!
I hope you are well Clare and that your weekend will be a good one. Enjoy your evening!
