It has a hand sewn snowflake detail, with baby doileys and buttons. It is reversible, the red linen side has baby doileys and vintage and collected buttons.

This cape has been sold, thanks to the lovely lady who bought it! I have a few more capes in progress and will be selling them through Nest,...

Raw fleece string

Posted by Janine Morris on Thursday, August 26, 2010, In : upcycled

A lovely day working was had yesterday at the Makers Workshop in Burnie. I was joined by Rebecca, a visiting basket maker from the mainland. We did lots of talking and sharing of ideas, and also lots of string making. We both made raw fleece string as we love the look and feel of it. I was very impressed with Rebecca's finished work, shown here modelled on a glad wrapped florence(usually required for paper molding, hence the glad wrap).
