Two Birds Good

I am on holiday in Mallorca, and today dropped in to Teixits Vicens, one of my all-time favourite places to buy fabric. They’ve been weaving it here since 1854, and the shop is an absolute feast for the eyes.

I always end up bankrupting myself whenever I visit because it’s also eye-wateringly expensive!

I’ll take a short break from school jumper cushions when I get home, and make some from the beautiful ikat and stripe I got today.

Total fabric-gasm! 🤪

Today's make - this jumper is made from a knitted fabric and I wasn't sure how easy it would be to work with, but it's come out great.

Many thanks to Tom B for donating his old jumper for me to experiment with!

My son wanted a memento of his time at Holmesdale, so I made a cushion from his jumper. Instead of it sitting unloved in a drawer for ever more, it now takes pride of place on his bed.

So if your children are leaving their school this summer (or even if they're not and have just grown out of their jumpers!), I can make their jumper or cardi into a 30 x 30 cushion.

A hollowfibre or feather cushion pad is included in the price of £17.50.
