About

I design and make original gifts from beautiful and collectable vintage fabrics.

Whether your style is Contemporary or Traditional, I offer an ever-changing collection of interior textiles and accessories for your home, garden & wardrobe.

I choose each piece of fabric individually to complement and work alongside another, and so, no two items are ever exactly the same.

Each design is a one-off, or one of a limited edition, and features quality vintage fabrics that date from between 1920 and 1990.         

I began collecting Vintage fabrics while still a student in Bristol and Bath in the early 1980s. In the years that followed, working as a Theatre Propmaker around the country, I gathered together all sorts of pieces - jewel coloured Liberty silks; heavy, floral Sanderson linens; sweet hand-embroidered cloths from the 30s; funky 50s barkcloth curtains (and I do mean funky), and more. All pieces were lovingly washed, and sometimes I carefully unpicked the stitches; but then, all were pressed and packed away, till I had the time and space to give them the attention they deserved.

I had a plan that one day I would fill a cottage with a brash, bohemian mix of past design styles and patterns. These fabrics would be the foil that would allow my collections of Whitefriars glass, Scandinavian pottery and wooden Bovril boxes to co-exist in rustic, contemporary harmony.

Well, the time has come. 

We have finally moved out of the city, and I have too many fabrics to fill just one home.

I hope you like my work and enjoy browsing the website.
New items appear on a regular basis – so please come back and take another look soon!
