London Autumn Handmade Market Prep

Some of my new cushions that I have made recently for my Crafty fox market debut. Making some more covers so that you will have a variety to choose from :-)

I can safely say they look absolutely fab ....

My Detola & Geek African inspired handmade cushions are a quick & easy way to inject splashes of colour into your spaces.

Quite functional & at the same time trendy. These vibrant designs always get the conversation started. Right?

Day 2 Art Chain‬ challenge: Bull's Eye African Print Cushion

Day 2 of The ‪#‎ArtChain‬ challenge:

Culled from my Detola and Geek's Facebook page .....

Here is the first cushion I made which I call the Bulls Eye Circles African print fabric cushion.

Shortly after starting my lampshade making journey, I got a message from a potential Etsy customer asking if I made cushions. The fabric they wanted was the Bull's Eye African Print one. I was like yikes - I've never ever used a sewing machine before in my life. After calming myself down I started phoning around, frantically, to see if any of 

my friends could borrow me their sewing machine as well as give me a crash course in 'Sewing 101'. I found one nearly immediately & I replied the customer letting them know that I DO make cushions as well. That was my introduction to the world of sewing. Two borrowed sewing machines later, am the proud owner of a Janome 7025

I nominate my very talented friend Lee of 'By Candlelight 27' to share for 5 days 1 creation per day & nominate a different person each time. Off you go girl ......
