Latest offerings from my Kettering Sweat Shop.

Wow it's been a busy week, I can't believe it's Friday already. I have a stall at Warkton Craft Market tomorrow, which also seems unbelievable as it means it is the third Saturday in October already and it's still so sunny and warm here. This week I have making things for my stall, these items won't be for sale online so if you would like any of them please contact me .

I have found a bag of old fabric a real source of inspiration (curtains and my daughters old clothes mainly) most of these makes have come from this bag. This means not only is each design is a real one-off, it also helps me keep the fabric stash manageable and help the environment. Good times :)

Thanks v much :) I have really enjoyed making them as they weren't for an order but just a chance to play with some fabric. Yes Christmas does seem to arrive pretty quickly after Halloween, I don't mind though, I love it and I am determined to stay organised this year xx

Thank you Lalibaby I need to stock up on the trees, I've nearly sold out, they've been very popular.

Thanks Lorna, no worries I know what you mean, stuff just happens when you have a family, especially at the weekend. There were quite a few people through the doors this month :)

You too Sharon, I'm so glad you like your new tea cosy, I would like the Belfast sink ensemble also but I live with a modernist so it's never going to happen!! xx
